What if the habits that make us more productive are also holding us back?

We’re excited to announce Markham Heid as a speaker at our upcoming TEDxBerlin Salon, “Leadership in the Age of AI.”

An award-winning journalist and long-time contributor to TIME magazine, Markham explores what makes us human — and how the routines and expectations of modern life can pull us away from our natural curiosity and creativity.

In his book, The Habit Trap: How Our Routines Hold Us Back, he challenges the idea that constant productivity and self-optimization are always the path to success. Sometimes, the very habits we rely on can limit our ability to adapt, explore new possibilities and embrace change.

And as AI continues to transform how we work and live, his message feels especially relevant: our curiosity, adaptability and willingness to challenge the familiar may be among our greatest strengths.

Markham’s writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Financial Times, Vox and other leading publications. At TEDxBerlin, he’ll bring a fresh perspective to one of the defining questions of our time: What does it mean to be human in the age of AI?

What happens when the wrong people end up in charge?

We’re excited to announce Isabelle Barth as a speaker at our upcoming TEDxBerlin Salon, “Leadership in the Age of AI.”

A university professor, researcher, manager and mother of six, Isabelle has spent years navigating organizations — and observing a pattern many of us will recognize: incompetence in leadership is often visible to everyone, yet somehow, nothing changes. She has a name for it: kakistocracy — a system in which the least qualified rise to power and manage to stay there.

From universities to companies and public institutions, Isabelle examines the darker side of organizations: why incompetence can survive, why competence can become a threat, and how systems end up protecting the very people who shouldn’t be in charge.

Her challenge? To look at uncomfortable realities head-on — because better, more responsible leadership starts with asking the questions others would rather avoid.

One month to go!

On November 9, the TEDxBerlin Salon “Leadership in the Age of AI” brings together people with different perspectives to challenge assumptions, share ideas and rethink what leadership can look like in an AI-driven world.

As AI reshapes how we work, make decisions and lead, one question becomes more important than ever: What does leadership need to look like next?

Join us for a full day of new ideas and conversations about leadership, trust, innovation and the future of work.

AI can become more intelligent. But does that mean it will make better decisions?

Hamilton Mann will be joining us as a speaker at our upcoming TEDxBerlin Salon, Leadership in the Age of AI.

Hamilton is an internationally recognised AI researcher and award-winning author challenging one of the central assumptions behind the pursuit of artificial intelligence: that greater intelligence will naturally produce better outcomes.

His work asks two fundamental questions: What makes algorithmic systems worthy of trust? And what makes algorithmic power legitimate?

In his acclaimed book Artificial Integrity, he introduced the concept of the same name to explore the first question. His second book, Trias Algorithmica, develops the eponymous concept to address the second.

Together, his work explores a fundamental question for the algorithmic age: not only what AI can do, but what AI should do — and who gets to decide.

Hamilton is Chairman and President of the Artificial Integrity Institute, lectures at INSEAD and HEC Paris, mentors at the MIT Priscilla King Gray Center, and conducts doctoral research at École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées–Institut Polytechnique de Paris.

He has spoken at major international forums including Web Summit, the World Economic Forum in Davos and VivaTech, and was named to the Thinkers50 Radar in 2024 and received the 2025 Thinkers50 Distinguished Achievement Award for Digital Thinking.

How does leadership need to evolve in an age of accelerating complexity?

We’re excited to announce Martin Gutmann as a speaker at our upcoming TEDxBerlin Salon "Leadership in the Age of AI"

Martin is a professor, author and speaker who spends his days thinking about how leadership needs to change — and what should remain constant — as the world becomes increasingly complex.

His writing and commentary have appeared in The New York Times, Inc., Fast Company, Forbes and Big Think, and he advises executives and boards around the world on leadership and organisational culture. He was also included in the Thinkers50 Radar Class of 2026.

Born in Sweden, Martin has lived and worked across Japan, the US, Canada, Mauritius, Germany and Switzerland. Today, he lives in the Black Forest with his wife and three children — who, he says, never let him forget that MrBeast has considerably more followers.

We’re excited to announce Abdelmoula El Hadi as a speaker at our upcoming TEDxBerlin Salon, Leadership in the Age of AI.

As a child, Abdelmoula rarely played with the toys his father brought home. Instead, he took them apart to understand how they worked — and sometimes rebuilt them into something entirely new. Once, using an old paint box and bicycle brake wires, he even built a homemade violin. It didn’t sound beautiful, but it worked.

That curiosity has never left him.

Today, Abdelmoula is Group Head of Innovation at Knauf Insulation, leading innovation strategy and ex*****on across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia-Pacific. After more than 15 years across the automotive and construction industries, he has become fascinated by one question: why do organisations that genuinely want innovation often create the conditions that make it harder?

That question became the foundation of his first book, The Creativity Paradox, and continues to shape his work exploring the paradoxes of innovation, leadership and change.

The Creativity Paradox: Why do bold ideas disappear inside well-managed organisations? And how can leaders create the conditions for creativity to survive?

What can our bodies do?

Last Friday, we explored that question together at our TEDxBerlin Salon “City in Motion: What Our Bodies Can Do” , hosted at INNSiDE by Meliá Berlin Mitte.

From elite running and performance to science, nutrition and the differences in how our bodies work, we explored what happens when we push our limits — and what we can learn when we better understand the bodies we live in.

Uta Pippig shared practical recommendations for runners and future runners, and what it really takes to prepare both body and mind for the challenge ahead.

Selemon Barega shared his personal story, his background and his journey to becoming an Olympic champion and world-class distance runner. And a huge congratulations on finishing 5th at the Berlin Marathon! 🏅

Prof. Dr. Kirsten Legerlotz shared insights from her research into the differences in the female body — and why it’s so important for women to listen to their bodies, understand them and take care of them.

Camila Seewald took us behind the scenes of her work with elite runners in Kenya, sharing fascinating insights into endurance and performance, practical nutrition tips, and a look into her work with Maurten.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us — our participants for bringing their curiosity and energy, and our amazing volunteers for making everything run smoothly.

And a special thank you to the INNSiDE by Meliá Berlin Mitte team for welcoming us and helping us bring City in Motion to life. We’re so grateful for your support and for making the afternoon possible.

And of course, thank you to the entire TEDxBerlin team for all the work, energy and care that went into making it happen.

One afternoon. Four perspectives. And one question worth continuing to explore:

What are our bodies capable of — and what happens when we learn to listen to them?

Meet our speaker: Selemon Barega

We’re incredibly excited to welcome Selemon Barega, Olympic champion, world-class distance runner, and one of Ethiopia’s brightest new talents, to TEDxBerlin Salon "City in motion: What our bodies can do"

Barega’s rise to the top began as a teenager, when he established himself as one of the world’s leading young distance runners. At the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, he won gold in the 10,000m, and in 2022 he added a World Indoor title over 3000m.

But what makes Selemon truly exceptional is his extraordinary range. His personal bests span virtually every major distance — from 3:32.93 for 1500m and 12:43.02 for 5000m to 26:34.93 for 10,000m, 57:50 for the half marathon. In 2025, he took on a new challenge: the marathon. On his debut in Seville, he claimed victory in 2:05:15, before lowering his personal best to 2:05:00 in Tokyo in 2026.

But there’s more to Selemon than the records and medals. Away from competition, he is a devoted father of two, sharing his life with Ethiopian champion Mekides Abebe, herself an elite steeplechaser. Mekides won bronze in the 3000m steeplechase at the 2022 World Championships and competed at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.

Together, Selemon and Mekides represent an extraordinary partnership in Ethiopian distance running — two world-class athletes who have competed at the highest level while building a family life away from the track.

At TEDxBerlin, Selemon will bring us into his world of elite performance, endurance, discipline, and the constant pursuit of what the human body can achieve.

Meet our speaker: Camila Seewald

What does it take to perform at the highest level — and how much does nutrition shape what the human body can do?

Camila is a performance nutritionist working with elite runners in East Africa, supporting athletes at the highest level of long-distance running. She is also an ISAK Level 2 anthropometrist and holds a Master’s in Nutrition and Supplementation in the Female Athlete.

Her work sits at the intersection of performance, nutrition, body composition, and the unique needs of endurance athletes.

Camila is also the co-author of a peer-reviewed study comparing the body composition of elite long-distance runners from Kenya and Europe, offering insights into the athletes and physical characteristics behind some of the world’s strongest distance-running performances.

At City in Motion, she’ll bring her expertise to the conversation about performance and the human body.
