Light is such a simple yet abstract concept.
While we all agree that light is nothing but electromagnetic radiation detected by the human eye, not even the dictionary agrees on a single definition.
Light is what makes vision possible. It is emotion. It is spiritual illumination.
Light has long been a symbol of good in the world. It embodies the fight of good vs evil (light vs darkness). It is said to be the source of life.
It is guidance, both physical while lost in the dark and spiritual when looking for a new path. It is rebirth and generation. It is a symbol of self-amelioration.
It is excellence. It is simplicity and laughs. It is information and clarity.
As our speakers walk us through such a multifaceted concept, we are guided as by a lighthouse to look for our inner light.

About us
TED
TED is a concept of information and communication, of culture and ideas. It translates into a community where the world’s leading thinkers and doers are invited to share their passions.
“TED” stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design; three broad subject areas that are shaping our future.TEDx
TEDx was created in the spirit of TED's mission, "ideas worth spreading".
It is the substrate of TED that supports independent organizers who want to create a TED-like event and experience it within their own community.TEDxBocconiU
TEDxBocconiU is the independently organized TEDx event within the Bocconi community, since 2013.
Its goal is to make ideas more accessible to those who seek a more profound understanding of the world.UNIVERSITÀ BOCCONI

Through TEDxBocconiU, Bocconi confirms knowledge’s value by showcasing ideas worth spreading.
