Adeje council’s department of the presidency, under councillor Manuel Méndez Martín has signed a sponsorship agreement with TEDx, a programme that is designed to help communities, organisations, and individuals initiate conversations and debate through local TED-like experiences. The first TEDx Adeje event, in Spanish and under the title ‘La Sinfonia del mañana’, will take place in the Adeje Auditorium on 13 June 2024 in the morning, followed by a networking session to create links and exchange ideas among the participants.
Tickets can be purchased online
https://www.bugrina.com/tedx. Examples of speakers from previous TED Talks include Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Richard Branson, Bill Clinton and Toni Nadal. TED videos accumulate millions of views on YouTube and are a source of inspiration and multidisciplinary knowledge for a large number of people.
According to councillor Méndez Martín, “this is a great opportunity for Adeje to be able to partner with the TEDx brand”. The councillor underlined that “Adeje has always been associated with the promotion of knowledge, involved in activities that promote training, culture, traditions, sport, innovation, etc., so being part of this initiative is very much part of this journey”.
The leader of the TEDx Adeje project, Anna Bugrina, said that “we want to make local talent visible, the wisdom that exists in our community. The people chosen to give the TEDx talks follow a rigorous selection process by the organisation. From today, registrations are open to collaborate with TED”.
La Sinfonía del mañana
The TEDx Adeje Talks will be held under the name ‘La Sinfonía del mañana’. Burgina explained that “we chose this title because the topics cover very diverse areas but are linked together not only for 2024 but for the near future as well”.
Some of the topics that will be discussed are: artificial intelligence, the digital revolution, music, sleep, the seabed and the importance of effective communication and voice management.
Events under the TEDx label are planned and coordinated independently, community by community. For the TEDxAdeje event, the Town Hall will provide promotion and dissemination through its corporate communication channels and social media before and after the event as well as links to social media and the TEDxTalks channel. Adeje Council also grants the organisation the use of the Auditorium, rehearsal space for speakers, sound and lighting, staging and media coverage before and after the event.
The opening session of the TEDx Adeje will be given by the sponsor Dorina Gavrilita who will give a violin performance (www.dorinaviolin.com ).
The second main partner of the event is ?amachofilms, responsible for the corporate image, professional video and website of the event (www.camachofilms.com/ ), with camera operator Eugene Yeskov filming for TEDxAdeje social media. Professional photography will be covered by the sponsor 1 Mundo Mío. A recent collaborator is Eva Divine, the prestigious Canarian fashion designer, who is creating several exclusive, elegant tailor-made looks for the event.
Companies or professionals wishing to participate as a sponsor or partner of the event or to present a speaker can register online at
