Photos from TEDxAlAin
I am very proud to have co-organised TEDxAlAin in Al Ain, the second largest city in Abu Dhabi, with Sajjad Kamal. Together we approached the Emirati government and raised £50,000 (US$80,000) to put this one-day conference on.
I worked with most of the speakers to refine their presentations, and I gave one of the presentations on the day myself.
More than 850 people showed up, and we turned away about 500 people. That was after we stopped promoting the event 2 weeks before it happened.
Here are some photos from the day…
