TEDxBrayfordPool

TEDxBrayfordPool A TEDx event is a local gathering where live TED-like talks and videos previously recorded at TED conferences are shared with the community.

TEDx events are fully planned and coordinated independently, on a community-by-community basis. The Brayford Pool is the heart of the City of Lincoln, Lincolnshire. It was a Roman port connecting the city to the sea during the reign of Emperor Nero. The north bank was regenerated in the latter twentieth century into a vibrant social hub. In the twenty-first century, the south bank became home to t

he thriving University of Lincoln. It represents the past, present and future of Lincoln as well as the ever-changing flow of ideas. With an ever-increasing spotlight on Lincoln, our city has fast become a cultural hub with strong links to its heritage - as the birthplace of mathematician George Boole, the tank, and one of the largest aeroplane producers during the First World War; we have a history steeped in innovation which continues to this day through world-class education, engineering, creative industry, tech and digital industry and much more. As such, our speaker programme is designed to ensure that legacy of innovation; only the very best ideas worth spreading from Lincoln and Lincolnshire make it to our stage. Being selected as a TEDxBrayford Pool speaker is akin to competing in the Olympics. Not only do our speakers get to deliver a live talk in front of an audience, but the videos of their talks are shared globally via the TEDx YouTube channel.

2017, the year that launched TEDxBrayfordPool

In 2017 we launched the inaugural TEDxBrayfordPool. We wanted our TEDx to stimulate discussion and catalyse change. Our was to showcase the very best, and most current ideas, generated in Lincoln and Lincolnshire, to a global and enlightened audience to inspire change for good. We also wanted to give young people a space to share their own inspiring ideas. TEDxYouth@BrayfordPool was launched just one week after TEDxBrayfordPool.

Over the past few years there has been an increasing spotlight on the city of Lincoln. It is fast becoming a cultural hub while maintaining strong links to its heritage - it’s the birthplace of mathematician George Boole, the tank and, during the First World War was one of the largest producers of aeroplanes in the country. It’s a city of academic success across a variety of fronts including teacher training, biochemistry and engineering. It’s the perfect place to generate ideas worth spreading via TEDx, and last year we proved it!

Now in our second year TEDxBrayfordPool and TEDxYouth@BrayfordPool bring national and global attention to Lincoln. These two annual events highlight the best ideas and innovations that the people of Lincoln have to their community and beyond.​

TEDxBrayfordPool gives an opportunity for business and community leaders, academics, and innovators to showcase their ideas in unique environment that isn’t available anywhere else in the city. TEDxYouth@BrayfordPool is organised by young people, for young people, and is a place for pioneers, free thinkers, and doers to champion the things that matter to them.
