TEDXCanberra is almost here!
Canberra is a city filled with nerds. We are the most highly educated population in the country and, with five tertiary institutions and 1 in 3 residents possessing a law degree*.
The good news is that we can spend Saturday 3 September soaking up even more information courtesy of the fantastic speakers at TedXCanberra. The seventh local instalment of the global phenomenon promises a broad range of subject matter through talks that promise both intrigue and inspire all those in attendance.
