TEDxEsade | Serendipia - The Power of Unexpected

At TEDxESADE, we create a platform for people to voice their ideas and inspire the crowd with their opinions, visions, and perspectives. In order for a new idea to be born, we need to think "out of the box".

Eight speakers of different backgrounds and industries will be sharing their stories surrounding the main theme of Serendipia - the concept of embracing mistakes as opportunities.
