We
love TED
talks.
They inspire, inform and spark insights. So, you can
imagine our
delight when our founder, Marta Nowinska, was chosen to present at
TEDx, a TED-style event in Toronto to celebrate
locally-driven
ideas and elevating them to the global stage.
Toronto born Swapsity was right at home within the
theme
TEDWomen 2013: Invented Here, and very much in
line with
the question that inspired the conference: how are
women reshaping
the future?
Marta’s talk, The Exchange Economy: Value
with
Values, focused on the power of barter and
presented her
vision for the future of currency. She shared stories,
statistics
and inspired the audience to embrace barter in their
daily life. As
kids, we knew how to get things without money or credit
cards—we simply swapped for it! We can all
remember how fun
it was. Today, while barter is widely utilized by
countries and
corporations, less than 1% of individuals barter. Why
are most of
us missing out? Why are kids, corporations and
government having
all the fun? Watch Marta's TEDx talk to find
out.
The talk generated plenty of excitement in the Tweetosphere with the audience sharing the highlights and tweeting their enthusiasm about swapping.
We felt extremely humbled
and
honoured to be a part of TEDWomen
2013, a global conversation happening in 58
countries across
the planet from the 4th to the 6th of
December.
TEDWomen celebrates the incredible work of innovative
women, change
agents, thinkers, leaders, problem-solvers, inventors,
trailblazers, idea champions and dreamers who are
transforming
entire industries with their out-of-the-box thinking.
TEDxTheAnnexWomen took place at the
University of
Toronto (Munk School of Global Affairs) on December 5th
and brought
together seven outstanding speakers. Read how these
innovators look
at success in this Chatelaine Magazine
feature.
So glad to share our
insights and
spark a conversation about the value of the Exchange
Economy. We
hope you'll share
Marta’s TEDx talk with your friends and
empower more
people to put barter in their wallet.
