SPEAKERS 2025
For our first edition 2025 on the theme of the Art of Being Human, we are curating an exciting line-up of both Portuguese and international speakers to take us through their own perspectives and spark ideas worth sharing.
To keep a little sense of surprises – after all, we are human beings and don’t we like to be surprised? – we will start revealing the name of our speakers progressively right up before the event on March 1st, 2025.
We will announce the name of a few speakers already by end of December on our social media platforms. However, if you want to be informed beforehand, you simply have to register to our newsletter here.
BEHIND THE CURTAIN: BEING A SPEAKER COACH
All our speakers benefit from a speaker coach who is highly experienced in public speaking and may have already been a TEDx speaker themselves. We asked one of them, Ryan Brady, three questions:
- Can you briefly introduce yourself?
Ryan’s answer:
- How did you become a TEDx speaker coach?
- Can you share a couple of tips for being a good public speaker?
