In this launch edition of the Business21C Weekly, it’s all TEDxSydney, all the time. Hosts Mike Hanley and Kirsten Lees interview Remo Giuffré, TEDxSydney licensee and host, and two TEDxSydney speakers, Rachel Botsman, author and commentator, and Seb Chan, head of digital at the Powerhouse Museum.

TEDxSydney licensee Remo Giuffré tells us about his experiences at the TED conferences in Longbeach over the years, and talks us through his plans for May 22 when TEDxSydney will hit Carriageworks in Eveleigh.

Twenty of Australia’s top thinkers and doers will grace the stage for their allotted 15 minutes to give the talk of their lives. The day will also feature a festival of ideas, hosted by TEDxSydney speaker Julian Morrow of The Chaser.

We interview Rachel Botsman, author of upcoming book What’s mine is yours: the rise of collaborative consumption, about how more and more people are putting the brakes on their hunger for more stuff, and using technology to develop ways to share their consumption with others – formally sharing books and cars and toys and just about anything, really. Using innovative online tools consumers are developing ever more ways to elongate the life cycle of material stuff and cut down on needless waste.

And Seb Chan, head of digital at the Powerhouse Museum talks to us about the future of the museum, and how the changing perceptions of the role of museums in our lives are combining with digital technologies to provide fabulous ways to make our heritage live again.
