I’m sure most of y’all heard about TED – Ideas worth spreading – and have probably watched at least one TED Talk in your life. (If not, I guarantee you’re gonna find one that’ll become your favourite).

Well, TEDx are kinda wannabe-TED-events, independently organized throughout the world. One of them was hosted in Riga today.

Presented as a viewing party, the TEDxBergaBazars held at the coworking space ¼ Satori a.k.a. Birojnīca, focused mainly on Rework and rethinking the ways we live and work.

The event kicked right off into viewing talks by Jason Fried, Alain de Botton, David Logan and Simon Sinek, followed by discussion in groups and elaborating on each of the TED Talks.

And despite the lack of moderation (done on purpose?) I had a great time and even scribbled some inspirational notes which will be proudly tagged motivation in Evernote. Yes, there’s probably never too much of motivation I guess.

Next time around, I am even keener to join the TEDx in Riga, as Natalie, one of the organizers, informed there’s gonna be a live talk they’re officially licenced to stream from the States.

What do you think? Let me know in the comments below.
