TEDxExeter 2019 talks launch online

Organisers of TEDxExeter, the South West's leading ideas festival, have announced that talks from its 2019 event have been launched for online viewing at www.tedxexeter.com

The eighth TEDxExeter Ideas Festival took place on Friday April 5th 2019 at the Northcott Theatre. The talks were livestreamed to audiences across the city, as well as by communities in all corners of the world including Australia, New Zealand, India, Russia, Japan, Nigeria, Somalia, the USA, Mexico and Venezuela.

Under the theme, 'Art of the Possible', a fantastic line-up of speakers explored a diverse range of subjects from disability, fancy dress and artificial intelligence, to street harassment, FGM and the impact of rudeness at work.

Claire Kennedy, Curator and Licensee said: "Over the last few weeks our team of volunteers has been working hard to get the talks ready to launch online. This involves a great deal of behind the scenes work, including transcribing the talks ready for translation into a wide range of languages and we are delighted that the talks have now been launched on our brand new website.

"The feedback we've had from our 2019 event has been phenomenal and we are delighted that the talks have already had an impact not just in Exeter but all over the world."
