TEDxJesolo and Hotel Bettina: hospitality as the first step to opening up
On 20 September TEDxJesolo returns, with a theme that invites us to talk openly about what we often prefer to avoid: Taboo. An edition built with the care and rigour TED requires, bringing ideas, stories and perspectives of international scope to Jesolo.
Among the supporters of this edition is Hotel Bettina, a Lido di Jesolo hotel backing the event as Bronze Partner.
An event made by volunteers
First-time visitors to TEDxJesolo are often surprised by the quality of the production: stage, pace, content, welcome.
Behind all this there’s no agency, but a group of 35 volunteers who work in their free time, coordinated by the event’s licensee, Mattia Salatin.
Together with his team, he makes sure every edition meets the standards required by TED: curated content, a recognisable format, editorial independence and attention to the quality of the experience.
Why Hotel Bettina supports TEDxJesolo
Before listening to a difficult idea, before opening up to an uncomfortable subject, you need to feel welcome.
It’s a principle Hotel Bettina knows well: welcoming people means creating a place where different people can feel at ease, even when they come with different backgrounds, habits and needs.
TEDxJesolo works on a different kind of welcome: it creates a space where the audience can approach complex topics, hear new perspectives and engage with what often stays at the margins of the conversation.
That’s why the collaboration grows from a simple shared belief: that truly opening up requires a setting that makes people feel present, listened to and involved.
