TEDxWoking is proud of line up for 2021
Our speakers are local people with a great idea worth spreading, with diverse and engaging talks, all underpinned by this year’s theme of Resilience.
The event was live-streamed on the afternoon of 21 May. But you can hear the latest 'ideas worth spreading' when they are available online in June. Just 'keep in touch' below for alerts.
