TEDxBrunkebergstorg
”Sense of belonging” was the theme for the world premiere of TEDxBrunkebergstorg that took place at Stockholms Handelskammare on March 9. An unforgettable evening where many ideas worth spreading were delivered from the six speakers. Here you can watch all the TEDxBrunkebergstorg talks.
At Stockholms Handelskammare (the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce) we believe in the power of gathering people to exchange great ideas.
We were therefore delighted to host the first ever TEDxBrunkebergstorg at March 9. At this event, “Sense of Belonging”, six speakers explored how subcultures influence urban society.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxBrunkebergstorg, where x = independently organized TED event.
At our TEDxBrunkebergstorg event, TED Talks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group.
The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
