TEDxSheffield will be returning to the city after almost a decade.
The theme, Standing on the Shoulders of Giants, will look at the “life-changing moments of transformation that can inspire us towards a brighter future.”
“We aim to take TEDxSheffield to the next level and establish it as one of the most significant events of its kind in the world,” said WANDisco founder and new licence holder, David Richards MBE.
“We want to showcase the city and its amazing citizens to national and international audiences and expose as many people as possible to exciting new ideas that encourage a growth mindset. Whether you are 14 or 84, you are going to find something inspirational at TEDxSheffield with incredible stories of people – from global leaders to fellow citizens – who embraced the inflection points in their lives.”
The event’s organisation committee includes David and Jane Richards; Megan Cornick of WANdisco; Paulette Edwards of BBC Radio Sheffield; Nancy Fielder from National World Cities; Bernard Ginns of Branksome Partners; Hannah V Jordan of Sheffield University; Herb Kim of TEDxManchester; Mai Mai Lam of WANdisco; Dr Julie and Neil MacDonald, Kate Martin of Sheffield City Council; Kim Streets of Sheffield Museums Trust; and Emma Turnbull of TEDxNewcastle.
It will take place this summer at the Crucible Theatre.
