It’s TED time of year, and the week long jamboree of creativity, thoughts and ideas all squeezed into 18 minute bursts of clever and entertaining people on stage is underway over in Canada as we speak. Obviously we can’t be there, but that doesn’t mean we have to miss out. The TEDxJohannesburg organisers have put together a live streaming event for one night only, and that night is tonight.

Want to watch a Hollywood special effects designer talk about the secrets of his trade, a magician, crossword designer, font creator and a plasma physicist share their ideas? Sure you do. The event runs from 17:00 to 22:00 down at JoziHub on 44 Stanley, just behind Wits. There’s a contribution of R120 to help cover costs required, and tickets are available here.
