FIRST EDITION: THE ART OF BEING HUMAN

Join us for a full day of exploration and reflection on the complexities and beauty of the human experience in the heart of the vibrant Marvila district.


In the spirit of TEDx events, TEDxMarvila aims to echo ideas worth sharing and invites you to embark on this memorable journey with brilliant Portuguese and international speakers who will challenge our perspectives and stimulate our imagination through the theme: ‘The Art of Being Human.’


TEDxMarvila will be more than just a day of talks. Not only will you have the opportunity to discover the iconic Convento do Beato, but you will also experience unique activities and interact with the speakers.

Convent of Beato: Where events make history

The history of the Convento do Beato dates back to the 15th century, when Queen Isabel ordered the construction of a hermitage. In the 16th century, Friar António da Conceição, later known as Beato António, encouraged the construction of the Convent on the site of the hermitage.

In the 20th century, the Convento do Beato was classified as a “Heritage of Public Interest”. It became an event venue in 1989. It aspires to be the best Events Center in Europe.

Organizing TEDxMarvila at the Convento do Beato means offering a unique experience in a traditional yet contemporary space steeped in history.
