The next edition of TEDxMarrakesh will be held on OCTOBER 21 at Es Saadi Marrakech Resort with the theme “Tribes & Trolls - How Digitalization Impacts Our Lives”, focusing on how our lives are impacted by social media, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, block chain, bitcoins and psycho-graphics etc. Where are we standing now and even more important - where are we heading to?
