Vlad Gozman

“Speak up, even if you might be wrong. It’s better to confront people with your ideas and your way of thinking”, is one piece of advice Vlad Gozman would give his 14-year-old self. The Founder & Curator appreciates the slightly different way in executing the concept of idea sharing all over the world: “My emphasis on TEDx Vienna is on science and technology innovation.”

Ho Leng

“I get to talk to a lot of cool people and of course there’s the free champagne and wine and parties”, tells Ho Leng about her everyday life as a curator. But of course that is not the essence of her job: “I want to do an exhibition that leaves an impact to the audience and leaves them something to bring back home to think about. That may change them or give them a different light about things.”

Josh Grigsby

“Not only don’t be afraid to fail, do it intentionally. You can’t learn anything, you can’t succeed until you know how to fail”, Josh Grigsby would tell his 14-year-old self. What it takes to do his job as Curator at CITYx for TEDx? “Curiosity. Curiosity to the point, that it makes you willing to say things to people that might embarrass you or ignore boundaries.”

Réka Artner

“Don’t compare yourself to others! If you wanna find your way, it’s really hard if you’re always trying to achieve what the other person achieved”, Reka Artner would tell her 14-year-old self. “You’re having an impact you might not even know of, but may it be your spark and a change in attitude or a change in thoughts, that’s supercool and in return, it has an impact on you, because you get to work with all this cool, innovative people”, she tells about her job as CEO and Curator at TEDx Vienna.
