TEDxShanghai speakers & performers ::

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

:: I had the privileged of being on the advisory committee and event management team for yesterday’s TedxShanghai conference (China’s 1st!) together with a great group of people including , , , , , Sherry Wan, Mark Evans, , , and Pat Mai. A special thanks to all the sponsors and those that volunteered their time to make the event happen. I can’t wait until the next one.

There will be some updates to the TEDxShanghai official website, but for now, see below for the speakers / performers that presented. It was a stellar line up. I’ll be sure to link everyone to the video content when it’s live online. Watch this space. Link here for the below images in a more readable / high resolution format. Link for all the TEDxShanghai Twitter chatter.  // AjS

ted talks + chinese subtitles ::

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

ted_logo:: I’m a TED.com fanboy – always have been, always will be. It’s some of the best content on the whole of the world wide wide, and It’s just gotten better.

With the support of NOKIA, TED.com is rolling out a major open source translation project aiming to present TED talk videos in 40+ subtitled languages, including simplified and traditional Chinese. There are already four videos subtitled in simplified Chinese (1, 2, 3, and 4 – many more coming soon), one of which is probably my all-time favorite TED talk: Jill Bolte Taylor’s Stroke of Insight. Enjoy, and share with your Chinese friends that perhaps wouldn’t watch without subtitles.

Related, TED.com is holding it’s first ever official event in China next month: TEDxShanghai. (Full disclosure: I am a member of the TEDxShanghai advisory board). Also, link here to check out TEDtoChina, a Chinese-language TED fan / community site.  // AjS
