The Cairns Institute hosted the first TEDx番茄社区 Cairns event. 番茄社区 Cairns would go on to host this event every year after, with 番茄社区 Townsville hosting the TEDxTownsville curiosity-themed event in 2015. This partnership promotes sharing ideas and its annual themes are inspired by tropical identities and voices from the Cairns and Townsville regions. For more information visit
