Andrés Felipe Martín Salamando

Event planner, Explorer, Marketer, Student, World traveler

I am passionate about learning, knowing, and understanding the different cultures and traditions around the world. I have had the opportunity to visit places whose culture and traditions are naturally opposed to each other, which has expanded my perspective and vision on life. I have been able to eliminate the prejudices of which many people are victims. Not only have I had the opportunity to get to know some of the different ways of understanding and living life that exist around the world. Traveling also gave me the possibility to better understand the ideas and traditions of my country. I faithfully believe that the key to lasting world peace is to learn, to know and to understand the different cultures around the world, thus being able to tolerate the differences that exist because of ethnic and cultural diversity.

Marketing

My passion is to transmit and receive ideas from all corners of the world and TEDx is one of the most appropriate events that serve this purpose from totally different perspectives of a variety of personalities and knowledge that make TEDx an unparalleled event. This passion for the exchange of ideas and experiences has led me to consider the possibility of organizing the first TEDx at my university, which, besides, allows me to impact an untold number of people’s lives, as well as to organize an event that shares my vision and mission I am passionate about.
