On 21 May 2021, TEDxWoking returned for the fifth time to Woking - this year to McLaren's Thought Leadership Centre - for an afternoon of inspirational and enlightening talks.
The theme was Resilience, and we heard from some exceptional people with great 'ideas worth sharing'.
The event was once again opened by Rob May, who gave his TEDxWoking Talk in 2017.
