Cambodia’s intellectual scene is on a remarkable journey, mirroring the country’s rich history and vibrant culture.

Scheduled for March 31, 2024, at the Major Cineplex (IMAX Hall) Aeon2 Sen Sok, the second round of TEDx Phnom Penh, themed “Sustainable Future,” epitomizes this intellectual awakening.
TEDx Phnom Penh, an independently organized event under the TED banner, is not just about talks and ideas; it is a crucible where the intellectual mettle of Cambodia is tested and showcased. The event is poised to host around 15 Khmer and international speakers, embodying the spirit of diversity and global thought leadership while remaining deeply rooted in Cambodian society’s betterment.

These individuals are not just leaders in their respective fields but also pioneers who envision a sustainable future for Cambodia through their transformative ideas.
The event’s focus extends beyond mere discussions; it is a platform for empowering the youth, serving local communities, and creating a positive impact on society. It embodies the spirit of innovation and progress that is currently sweeping through Cambodia, marking a significant leap in the country’s intellectual and cultural evolution. Engaging performances and unique experiences at TEDx Phnom Penh challenge conventional thinking and ignite the imagination, contributing to a broader discourse on sustainability and inclusivity.
The commitment to fostering dialogue, sparking innovation, and inspiring action towards a sustainable and inclusive society is a core principle of TEDx Phnom Penh, as highlighted by its organizer, Moran Hadad, who also serves as the president of the Cambodia-Israel Chamber of Commerce. This dedication is echoed by Bill Chea, an organizer and executive manager of TEDx Phnom Penh, who emphasizes the event’s goal to catalyze a ripple effect of innovation and progress throughout Cambodia and beyond.
In essence, TEDx Phnom Penh serves as a microcosm of Cambodia’s burgeoning intellectual scene. It not only showcases the country’s commitment to sustainable development and innovation but also highlights the pivotal role of intellectual discourse in shaping the future of Cambodian society. As Cambodia continues to navigate the challenges of the 21st century, events like TEDx Phnom Penh are crucial in inspiring the next generation of thinkers, leaders, and innovators, fostering a culture of intellectualism that is vital for the nation’s progress and prosperity.
