Light up the future...

Bath Abbey, 29th September 2018

Bath 1pm - 5.30pm

TEDxBath has announced details of Bath’s inaugural TEDx conference entitled ‘Light up the Future’. The event will include twelve inspiring talks from leading speakers on a broad range of topics concerning the future of Bath including social welfare, mobility, mental health, and the role and character of Bath as a city. 

This is a brand new initiative set-up as part of the global TED organisation and aims to share ideas and issues that relate to the Bath community.  Its activities are being coordinated by a diverse team of local volunteers who are united by a desire to share ideas and encourage positive change.

What is TEDx?
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organised events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxBath, where x = independently organised TED event. At our TEDxBath event, TED Talks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organised. Read more >
