TEDxCanberra are hosting a monthly networking event, inviting everyone to come and share perspectives on how we form – and lose – our memories. Image: Supplied.

In the age of selfies and vlogs, capturing moments has never been easier. But have we missed the essence of the moment itself by being distracted? Why are negative memories easier to remember than happier ones?

TEDxCanberra Conversations are free, monthly community networking events where we invite you to join fellow Canberrans for a conversation about big ideas. Each event features a selected TED Talk, a presentation by a special guest and time for questions and open conversation. This month, the theme is ‘our memories’.

Join us on February 27 to discuss and share your perspectives on how we form – and lose – our memories. We’ll be joined by special guest Chris Huet, a Canberra poet and former TEDxCanberra speaker, who will share with us how we can use poetry to evoke time, place and memory.
