TED!

If there is one thing Belgium is short of, it is brand new ideas and the guts to create. Therefore we need a platform to shout of the roof that creating (and maybe failing while creating) is nothing to be scared about. On the contrary this is the way to create the world of tomorrow.

In the United States, this platform already has an established name. Its name is TED (Technology Entertainment Design). In this conference that lasts a few days, some interesting (weird?) people talk about their ideas, inventions, dreams and so on. It is a tsunami of creativity. This conference used to be very exclusive, but because of the internet (and the goodwill of the organization), it is now free to watch whenever you feel like it. So try it, just maybe you will find that €100 million idea you have been looking for all your life.

In Brussels there is a TED like conference about internet startups. There is a contest between several ideas for a successful startup, but there are also some influential business people who talk about this booming business. Take a look on their site if you are interested.
