TEDx Day

Things happened on the day and audience feedback.

Process: rehearsal, lunch, presentations, Q&A, dinner.

Audience feedback: 80 audience came to the conference, almost covering all the seats, beyond our expectations. Highly activated audience.

p.s. I did not realize until now that I learned life-changing thing myself, which is that I first encountered the concept "数字游民". Now I am actively working toward it.

After TEDx

Team Overhaul, paper research.

I became the TEDx Club's leader.

Difficulties:

1. Members mostly retired and I only got several experienced members.
2. The team needs to restructure due to the conference's biased workload.

Actions:

1. For member retirement:
2. Team restrictions: Learning team structure from Google.

However, finally the school does not actively support it, both during our conference preparation and the future, and within pandemic background, activities are hard to move on. With all members' understanding, we made hard decision of temporarily freeze the club, transferring all the reusable goods to the college office.

Still, this is a intensive experiences that affect many people's life.
