Andrew Aziz
Founder and CEO
TEDx BBT: ELEVATE is more than just a conference—it's a 7-hour immersive experience celebrating humanity, resilience, and the diverse journeys that shape success.
"My goal is to bring together a dynamic group of thinkers, leaders, and creatives to explore life's highs and lows—far beyond the worlds of business and trading."
Beyond the speakers, it's equally important to highlight local artists. Throughout the event, you'll experience a fusion of art and storytelling—interactive projection pieces, movement performances, and more—all seamlessly woven into the conference.

"At BBT, success isn't measured by labels—it's built on mindset, discipline, and adaptability. That same philosophy is at the heart of TEDx BBT, a stage where potential rises above perception, and high performers share lessons forged through real-world experience."
"This event isn't just about ideas—it's about transformation. It's about challenging limitations, stepping beyond the familiar, and redefining what's possible."

Creative Director, TEDx BBT
“One of the coolest things about working on this project is that my 25-year-old queer vision wasn’t just respected—it was celebrated by the kind of finance and business professionals I always thought would shut me down. It’s incredible and inspiring to see a team of internationally acclaimed, successful individuals putting so much love and effort into creating and sharing a truly versatile experience. Working with Bear Bull Traders has completely reshaped my perspective on large-scale businesses and made me realize that innovation and inclusivity can go hand in hand, even in industries I once thought were rigid.”
