TED Immigrant Diaspora: Iranian
TED IMMIGRANT DIASPORA: IRANIAN
Livestream Available Online
December 6, 2023 starting at 4PM PT / 7PM ET
Livestream is free and open to all
Part of a wider initiative uplifting the ideas and achievements of immigrant diasporas, TED presents a first-of-its-kind event featuring a lineup of inspiring speakers from the Iranian diaspora whose bright ideas could help shape our shared future.
Throughout recent history, Iranian immigrants have brought fresh, nuanced perspectives to the places they choose to call home—open societies where they can live, speak and work freely. As they flourish, Iranians lend their creativity, industriousness, and cultural richness to the broader global tapestry—to the benefit of all.
Speakers and Performers
These incredible speakers, all members of the Iranian Immigrant Diaspora, will take the TED stage sharing ideas on topics such as immigration, culture, science and more.
