TEDxNew Channel Hangzhou

Day after day, we keep moving forward. But when was the last time you truly looked up and saw the horizon? As the world changes faster and cycles grow shorter, perhaps what we need is not to reach the next destination sooner, but to see farther ahead. 我们每天都在向前走。 但你有多久，没有真正抬头看看远方了？ 当这个世界的变化来得越来越快，周期越来越短， 我们需要的，也许不再是更快地抵达下一个目的地， 而是看得更远一点。 ─────── ✦ ─────── ✧ ─────── ✦ ─────── ✧ On November 8, 2026, TEDxNew Channel Hangzhou will take place at Yue Theater, hosted by New Channel International Education Group. In 2026, New Channel became TED’s exclusive strategic partner in China. Building on this partnership, the event will serve as a platform for local leaders to forge deeper connections with the wider world. 2026年11月8日，TEDx新航道杭州大会将于蝴蝶剧场启幕，本次大会由新航道国际教育集团主办。2026 年，新航道成为TED在中国唯一战略合作伙伴，这一合作契机，使此次大会成为本地领袖与世界深度链接的舞台。 As an ancient Chinese wisdom from Xunzi says: “Only after climbing a high mountain does one realize how high the sky is; only after standing beside a deep ravine does one appreciate the vastness of the earth.” 《荀子》有言：“不登高山，不知天之高也；不临深溪，不知地之厚也。” For centuries, the understanding of “Beyond Horizons” has never been limited to physical distance. Instead, it represents a broader vision, a greater perspective, and the continuous pursuit of transcending the boundaries of knowledge. 人们人对于“远”的理解，从来不只是距离，而是一种视野，一种格局，一种不断突破认知边界的精神。 Hangzhou is a city that has always looked 「Beyond Horizons」. 杭州，正是一座关于「见远」的城市。 It carries the profound legacy of five thousand years of Liangzhu civilization, the poetic beauty and cultural imagination of West Lake, and the forward momentum of digital innovation and artificial intelligence. Here, ancient wisdom meets future possibilities. Local stories connect with global conversations. The richness of history and the openness of the future come together to define Hangzhou’s unique spirit. 这里有良渚五千年的文明积淀，有西湖山水的人文诗意，也有数字经济与人工智能引领的时代创新。传统与未来在此相遇，本土与世界在此交汇，历史的深度与未来的广度共同塑造着这座城市独特的精神气质。 ─────── ✦ ─────── ✧ ─────── ✦ ─────── ✧ That is why the theme of TEDxNew Channel Hangzhou is: 因此，本次TEDx新航道杭州大会，我们将主题定为: 「见远 · Beyond Horizons」 ◇ Nature’s Horizon | The Shape of the World From the high mountain one beholds the heavens; beside the deep stream one fathoms the earth. ◇ 山水见远｜见天地之姿 登高山以观天，临深溪以察地。 ◆ City’s Horizon | The Depth of Culture Ascending the tower, one gazes afar; reading through ages, one knows what is to come. ◆ 城域见远｜见文化之蕴 登层楼而望远，阅古今而知来。 ◇ Travelers’ Horizon | The Frontiers of Knowledge Shattering the fences of the self, one pursues truth across the endless sea. ◇ 行者见远｜见界外之知 破一己之樊篱，向沧海以求知。 ─────── ✦ ─────── ✧ ─────── ✦ ─────── ✧ In this era, it is easier than ever to connect with the world - yet more important than ever to know where we are headed. As technology reshapes our lives, artificial intelligence redefines creativity, and global influences and local cultures continue to meet, what we need is not simply new knowledge, but new perspectives: to keep asking questions beyond the answers we already have, to discern emerging trends amid change, and to reconsider who we are in the wider world. 今天，我们比任何时代都更容易连接世界，却也比任何时代都更需要辨识方向。当科技不断重塑生活，当人工智能重新定义创造，当全球化与本土文化持续碰撞，我们需要的不只是新的知识，更是新的视角：在答案之外继续提问，在变化之中洞察趋势，在世界之中重新认识自己。 At TEDxNew Channel Hangzhou, speakers from diverse fields will share ideas that challenge familiar assumptions and offer new ways to imagine the future. Some make fire their brush, others bronze their ink - recasting thousand-year-old craftsmanship as contemporary landscape art. Some take silk as warp, others Hanfu as weft - weaving a tapestry of Eastern aesthetics that stretches from Hangzhou to the world. Some look to the stars, others dive into the deep - extending our gaze from the ocean depths to the far reaches of space. Some turn electronic music into tides, others footsteps into waves - pushing the boundaries of sensory experience. 本次大会，我们邀请来自多元领域的思想者和行动者共同分享那些正在拓展认知边界、塑造未来想象的思考与实践。他们中，有人以火为笔、有人以铜为墨，把传承千年的手艺，熔烧成当代艺术的山水；有人以丝绸为经，有人以汉服为纬，织出一条从杭州到世界的东方美学长缎；有人仰望星河，有人潜入深海，将人类的视线送往宇宙与地球的两端；有人以电音为潮，有人以步履为浪，把感官的边界推向更远的地方。 ─────── ✦ ─────── ✧ ─────── ✦ ─────── ✧ Conference Theme: Beyond Horizons Date: November 8, 2026 Venue: Xiaobaihua Yue Theater | No. 59 Shuguang Road, Xihu District, Hangzhou Expected Attendance: 800-1000 Format: TEDx Talks + "Seeing the Unseen" AudioVisual Interactive Art LiveShow + Workshop + Afterparty 大会主题：见远 · Beyond Horizons 大会时间：2026年11月8日 大会地点：蝴蝶剧场（杭州市西湖区曙光路59号） 大会规模：800-1000人 大会形式：TEDx演讲大会 +【见·未见】声音视觉艺术互动展演 + 工作坊 + 交流晚宴 ─────── ✦ ─────── ✧ ─────── ✦ ─────── ✧ TEDxNew Channel Hangzhou Core Team Chief Planner: Hu Min Chief Curator: Lei Yuqing Co-Curator: Wu Yong Executive Producer: Xia Xuanwen Visual and Creative Director: Ji Shiwei Workshop Lead: Huo Yangwen Leads of Speaker Coaching: Xie Yu, Li Ying, Xia Yixue, Sun Yuqi Volunteer Lead: Feng Hao Content & Compliance Lead: Chen Ruoqi, Liu Yi Director of Speaker Relations: Yang Guang Director of Partnerships & Operations: Duan Wulong, Wang Zicong (Deputy Director) Lead of Brand & Communications: Zheng Yi, Lan Zhaoxin Lead of Merchandise & Design: Zhao Guobing Event Control Lead: A Zheng
