(Courtesy photo) If you have, or like to hear, ideas worth spreading, head for a TEDxKyiv. The acronym is deciphered as Technology, Entertainment, Design, and sums up the basic topics in discussion at any given TED event.

Kyiv will host its third one on Sept. 11, and it will deal with art.

Traditionally for all TEDxKyiv gatherings, 10 Ukrainian speakers will be given 20 minutes each to share their ideas. The list includes artists, writers, musicians, publishers, art journalists, culture scientists, and architects. Around 150 guests are expected to attend the event.

Originally founded in the U.S., TED has grown to be a network of global importance, used as a vehicle for sharing ideas. Many of the talks are available online.
The first TEDx in Kyiv was held in October 2009. Seven speakers talked about pressing issues facing Ukraine today.

The second conference took place in April. It was dedicated to nanotechnologies, new education technologies, the state and future of art, music and sculpture. It was attended by 200 visitors.

All TEDx events in Kyiv are recorded and then placed on You Tube as well as the conference’s website (http://tedxkyiv.com), in line with the network’s motto “Ideas worth spreading.”

Dovzhenko film studio (44 Prospekt Permohy, by Shulyavska metro station), Sept. 11 at 1 p.m. Admission is free upon registration on the website tedxkyiv.com
