Cankarjev dom – Cultural and Congress Centre Ljubljana makes for an excellent venue for business events: presentations, lectures, press conferences, social meetings, business jubilees, etc. The year 2018 is coming to its end, but the Cankarjev dom still hosts business events. For example, one of the last corporate events of the year that Cankarjev dom will host in 2018, is the upcoming TEDxLjubljana that will take place on Sunday, the 9th of December, where 10 speakers will share their ideas with the audience in the biggest TEDx event in Slovenia. The event has already been sold out, but it will be broadcasted live via YouTube channel.

TED is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less). TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics — from science to business to global issues — in more than 100 languages. Meanwhile, independently run TEDx events help share ideas in communities around the world. The one, held in Cankarjev dom’s Gallus Hall, is one of them.
