Organisers of TEDxMonteCarlo were special guests of MonacoUSA on Tuesday evening at Amber Summer. More than a dozen speakers from around the world, as well as from the principality, will participate in a TEDx conference in Monaco on November 26.

TEDx is a global movement devoted to bringing Ideas Worth Spreading to communities around the globe through independently organised TED-like events. Nearly 200 countries host TEDx events and videos of the most inspiring talks about technology, entertainment and design (TED) are posted on the internet, with more than 1.4 billion views to date.

According to MonacoUSA Director Annette Anderson, the November 26 event will be a prestigious event with global exposure and will reinforce Monaco’s message that the Principality and its residents are so much more than the stereotyped “bling and ker-ching!” image portrayed by the media.
