The highly anticipated TEDxPraça Gil Eanes event brought together a remarkable assembly of thinkers, creators, and visionaries, successfully transforming the theme "Co-Creating a Limitless Future" from a concept into a vibrant, shared reality. With talks delivered in both English and Portuguese through seamless live translation, the event was a true reflection of the diverse and inclusive community it serves.

Inspired by the navigator Gil Eanes, the event’s four sessions took attendees on a journey of their own. The day began with Limitless Environment, featuring moving talks from Rafaela Prado Cardoso, Inês Martins, and Christina Egger. The focus then turned inward for Limitless Self as we pushed the boundaries of wellness conversations with insights from Izabella Soko, Achim Nowak, and Pedro Teixeira.

The intellectual energy of the morning flowed out into the sun-drenched square of the Cultural Centre. Attendees mingled, sharing insights and forging new connections over a delicious spread of local cuisine. The vibrant atmosphere created a perfect interlude of community and reflection.

The afternoon explored a Limitless Future with forward-thinking ideas from Ana Araujo, Paulo de Vilhena, António Guerreiro, and Fellyph Hes Rozendo. The event culminated with Limitless Together, featuring powerful messages from Rita Piçarra, Sónia Silva, Guilherme Félix, and Penélope Gonçalves, reinforcing the power of community.

The day was enriched with a vibrant layer of cultural expression by the incredible artistic performances of Nicole Silver, Danielle Riegel, Humberto Silva, and Associação de Ballet, Dança & Arte SR. that had the audience dancing and in awe.

This landmark event was brought to life by the passionate team of Elena Dimitrova, Simone CR, Marta Dinis, and a dedicated group of volunteers, whose shared vision for a more connected Algarve was evident in every detail. The immersive day would not have been possible without the support of our visionary sponsors and partners, to whom we extend our deepest gratitude.
