Organisers of TEDxExeter, the South West’s leading ideas festival, have announced that tickets for TEDxExeter 2020 are soon to be released for sale.

The 9th annual TEDxExeter event will take place on Friday 17 April 2020 at Exeter’s Northcott Theatre and will be simultaneously livestreamed to venues across the city and beyond.

Tickets, which usually sell out in minutes, will be released at 10am on Friday 29th November 2019 via Eventbrite. For those wishing to beat the queues, a limited number of VIP tickets will be available from 10am on Wednesday 27th November.   

Claire Kennedy, Director and curator of TEDxExeter, said: ‘We are particularly excited about our 2020 event. We are already working with inspiring individuals from all around the world who are preparing to share their ideas from the famous red dot in April. We’re particularly excited that talks from TEDxExeter have been viewed over 23 million online times by a global audience.”

Karime Hassan, Chief Executive, Exeter City Council, said: ‘When you look at the success of TEDxExeter compared to some of the best in the world, it is simply remarkable. It speaks volume to the passion and skills of the team involved. TEDxExeter is one of Exeter’s best exports; TEDx gets the brand of Exeter across the globe.”
