This year the Casino de Poblenou<\/strong> receives the 2015 edition of TEDxBarcelona Women<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

For those of you who are not familiar with TED<\/strong>, here\u2019s the scoop:<\/p>\n

TED<\/strong> is an acronym that stands for Technology, Entertainment <\/strong>and Design<\/strong>. TED<\/strong> was founded 31 years ago, by the non-profit Sapling Foundation<\/strong> as one singular event, developing into an annual conference series in 1990.<\/p>\n

TED<\/a><\/strong>, whose slogan is \u201cIdeas Worth Spreading\u201d, gathers each year a group of lead thinkers and doers <\/strong>who speak to the audience about what they are most passionate about. TED<\/strong> started off by giving focus to technology and design. But as the conferences grew bigger and more famous, TED started to offer talks in various cultural, scientific and academic topics.<\/p>\n

Over the years the appeal of the TED conferences became so big, the foundation decided to create TEDx<\/strong>, self-organized events that gather people for a TED-like experience, allowing many countries to join in on the spirit of ideas worth spreading.<\/p>\n

\"ted2\"TEDWomen <\/strong>is yet another category where the speakers are mainly women.<\/p>\n
