After retiring from a trading company in 2008, Cosmo Beatson, dissatisfied with NGO strategies, founded Vision First with the goal of helping refugees who seek protection in Hong Kong. Cosmo believes it is everyone's duty to oppose inequality, injustice and discrimination wherever they are found. His core values and friendship with refugees ensure that Vision First's driving spirit is solidarity rooted in the fundamental dignity of each person. At TEDxHKUST 2014 he will address the need for all to be "Guardians of Society" to resist abuses and fight for social change.

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)
