TED2022 A NEW ERA
A lot has changed since TED last gathered in Vancouver three years ago. We return not for more of the same, wonderful though that was, but to celebrate a new era. Despite the awfulness we’ve lived through, the future beckons with extraordinary possibilities we couldn’t have dreamt of. In medicine, in AI, in clean energy, in the ways we work, the ways we learn, and in the fundamental economic and social systems that underpin everything else.



Partnerships with TEDxBrayfordPool leverage everything that makes us stand apart: our global reach and research-based ideas; our live knowledge-sharing conferences and events; our TED Talk style content and format; and our progressive approach to education through storytelling.
A partnership with TEDxBrayfordPool is truly unique, immersive and meaningful. It has the power to create change, to transform minds and perspectives and to shift cultures within organisations and communities.

*NEW FOR 2022
We're really pleased to introduce TEDxAdventures to this year's series of events. These pre- and/or post-conference in-person tours and activities are designed to engage attendees and community members before and after our main events events. Adventures usually include hands-on, interactive experiences with local community interests, or speakers from past and future events. This develops a sense of excitement for the ideas that will be shared in your event before the big day.
This year we're introducing Speaker Dinners. They're an exclusive private dinner for all our speakers, core organisers and presentation partners before our main events. Its an opportunity to break bread and share a meal to build community among our current speaker cohorts. We hope they'll create incredible moments for the entire production. We plan speeches, words of encouragement and maybe even some exclusive swag too.

2022 marks a significant milestone for TEDxBrayfordPool! After successfully completing our license expansion training with TED, we're now able to uncap our audience, build deeper relationships with partners, reformat our events calendar, and much more.

"Our organisation has made connections that will enhance our business offer through the various TEDx events we've attended, therefore I think more people should be involved in events such as this to reengineer the way business think."

The day provided an opportunity to learn and hear ideas from a range
of speakers on a number of fascinating subjects. TEDxBrayfordPool also provides the space to meet new people and develop new conversation. Excellent. Well organised and inspiring day can’t wait for next year’s event.
Thank you.
