In London, the TED Idea Search brings together 10 voices from one of the world's most influential cultural capitals to compete for the opportunity to speak on the main stage at TED. From a civil engineer revealing the invisible infrastructure shaping our cities to a classical singer uncovering the erased history of women in music, the ideas on offer are both deeply personal and global in scope. When the lights come up, London doesn't hold back — and one speaker delivers a talk no one in that room will soon forget. Watch the full talks from the TEDxLondon Idea Search: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOGi5-fAu8bHgcClg_SWWWiZ52y4ZAq2j The most interesting ideas often come from the most unexpected places. We searched the globe for ideas with the power to inspire, motivate and change lives — and we found them at @TEDx events around the world. The TED Idea Search follows extraordinary speakers from 9 countries competing for a spot on the TED main stage in Vancouver this April. 00:00 - Intro 2:04 - Meet the Speakers 9:04 - Rehearsals 20:55 - The Talks 41:22- Deliberation 44:05 - The Winner Is… A WING London production for TED Join us in person at a TED conference: https://tedtalks.social/events Become a TED Member to support our mission: https://ted.com/membership Subscribe to a TED newsletter: https://ted.com/newsletters Follow TED!
