Diplomat, investor, entrepreneur, business mentor, speaker, philanthropist and author, Bill Liao co-founded the business social network service XING and is a venture partner at SOS Ventures. Bill is also the Co-Founder of the Coder Dojo movement to assist young people to learn how to program. Bill is dedicated to the vision that business and enterprise, both commercial and social, conducted fairly and with respect for the environment, can and will create a better environment for work, life and the world that we all share. James Whelton is a Cork native, described as a developer, hacker and social media connoisseur. He is most well-known for co-founding Coder Dojo (a not-for-profit network of computer clubs aimed at teaching kids to code) in 2011 with Bill Liao. He has been instrumental in spreading the movement from Ireland to the USA and Asia, whilst also interacting with major corporations along the way such as Twitter, Facebook and Google. He is also the CEO of Disruptive Developments. He enjoys skateboarding, sailing and contributing to the Open Source community. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
