TEDxExeter livestream now available in Teignmouth

The Pavilions Teignmouth: April 15th 9.15 am and 1.45 pm

TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading, usually in the form of short, powerful talks delivered by today’s leading thinkers and doers. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience and TEDxExeter is Exeter’s leading ideas festival, back for the fifth year with an exceptional line up of speakers who are changing the world through their groundbreaking work and ideas.

Now more people will be able to watch TEDxExeter and discuss the talks they are hearing through a livestream of the event at The Pavilions Teignmouth.

The new Pavilions Teignmouth centre will show TEDxExeter as one of its first performances in its new guise. Tickets will be sold for two sessions, morning and afternoon: 9.15 am and 1.45 pm. The theatre will charge £5 for each session to cover its costs and tea or coffee.

Contact the box office by email: boxoffice@pavilionsteignmouth.org.uk or ring 01626 249049 for tickets.

This years theme is Dreams to Reality and includes a packed lineup of international speakers and inspirational guests. Speakers will explore themes of identity and radicalisation, re-imagine the world using a new set of maps and challenge how data is used. Human rights runs as a theme behind many of the talks, and speakers will also examine compassion and communication.

Photographs of previous TEDxExeter events are available to download from the TEDxExeter Flickr page. Click on individual pictures to see captions and picture credits.

The livestream is being organised by TET and TAAG (Teignmouth Arts Action Group) in association with Pavilions Teignmouth.
