My time in TEDxULisboa was a tremendous learning experience. I joined in 2018 and left when the organization stopped because of the pandemic in 2020.
My work in TEDxULisboa as Guru of Logistics was to deal with all practical tasks before, during and after the event, making sure that all run smoothly for everyone. This included management of Slack, planning team-buildings, planning in person team-meetings, dealing with recruitment and personnel and the biggest task of them all planning all details of a 9 month event with 20 speaks and 1500 participants. Our event was not made to be for the masses, it was a carefully curated experience with brands, organizations and speakers. We were the first TEDx event to organize Speaker Contests, which gave opportunities for everyone to do a TED Talk! We organized two main TEDx events in 2019 and 2020.
