TEDx is coming to the University. But what is TEDx?

TED is a globally recognised non-profit organisation that hosts short, powerful talks and performances devoted to spreading ideas. Modelled after the TED format, TEDx events are independently organised to spark conversation and bring together communities around the world. The talks cover any and every topic, from science to business to global issues.

To celebrate the University of Kent’s 50th Anniversary, the theme of our event is ‘Milestones’. This theme is entirely open to interpretation. We are looking for enthusiastic speakers and performers that can address this theme in a variety of creative, exciting ways!

The event will take place on Saturday 30th May. The full-day event will comprise a series of fascinating and stimulating talks and performances broken up by a refreshment interval and a drinks reception at the end of the day.

If you are interested in applying to speak if perform please visit our website for more details, the deadline for this is the 21st March. Tickets will be released at the end of March.

If you would like any help with an application or have any questions e-mail the team.
