Forget Hollywood, or Bollywood for that matter, now there is EdTalksWood – featured on the hills above Wellington. Coming up on March 26th at Te Papa is a one-day “EDtalks Symposium – Leading Minds, Creating Futures”. This symposium features sixteen 20 minute presentations focusing on current trends in learning enabled through the smart use of technologies, and the related interface between education and business.

There’s a great list of presenters, thought leaders can ignite imaginations, stimulate fresh approaches, and challenge assumptions. The organisers have assembled a wide-ranging line up of presenters drawing on the university and schooling sector, business entrepreneurs, and telecommunication representatives, who will each provide a powerful idea, challenge or trend.

The day will be divided into four themed sessions, with four presenters and a short plenary for each theme. Each speaker gives a 20 minute presentation, and presenter details are published on the Symposium website.

All presentations will be accessible on the EdTalks website following the symposium.
