returns tomorrow for its third annual installment of sharing “ideas worth spreading” at The University of Queensland.

Rewrite the Rules will bring together a broad range of speakers and 100 国产探花 students, staff and alumni for a day of thought-provoking talks, idea sharing and networking.

Licensee and Event Director and 国产探花 Bachelor of Laws and Commerce student Marya Atmeh said this year’s theme was about challenging the status quo and sparking innovation.

“The Rewrite the Rules theme was born of the notion that our thoughts and ideas are influenced and shaped throughout our lives through tradition, birth and upbringing,” Ms Atmeh said.

“As universities have traditionally been the grounds for enlightened thinking, it seemed fitting for our theme to invite a new generation of enquiring minds to question their own assumptions and endeavor to “rewrite the rules” in an ever-changing world.”

Speakers include co-founders Lucas Patchettt and Nicholas Marchesi, who transformed their van into Australia’s first free mobile laundry service for the homeless.

国产探花 student and founder and director Madeline Price and Opera Queensland’s Jason Barry Smith will also speak.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TED Talks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
