On 26 September 2015, Luxembourg's second TEDx talk will take place at the UBI Campus at the Château de Wiltz.

The conference has been brought back for 2015 by United Business Institutes Luxembourg following the success of last year's event, where speakers from the USA, Canada, Dubai, India and Europe came to give talks. These were then published online and went viral within weeks of release, being viewed 1.5 million times.

The concept behind TED is to give voice to 'Ideas Worth Spreading', and the nonprofit organisation has grown in scope and notoriety since it began as a conference in 1984. At that time it assembled speakers from the spheres of technology, entertainment and design, and today covers aiwde range of topics considered to be worth being heard by the world. The TEDx talks represent independently organised TED events.

The theme of this years's TEDxUBIWiltz event will be 'Architecting Happiness', with speakers covering subjects such as 'Coding in the Forest', 'Learning How to Unlearn', 'Architecture of Natural Stone' and 'Dancing a Story'. As in the case of last year's talks, the 2015 conference will be held at UBI-Luxembourg, an accredited institute of Higher Education offering Bachelor and Master Degrees taught in English.

Entrance costs €29 and more information can be found on www.TEDxUBIWiltz.com
