Woking Borough is delighted to announce that the global phenomenon TEDxWoking is returning with a virtual audience while speakers will deliver their talks straight from McLaren Automotive’s Thought Leadership Centre (TLC) in Woking on Friday 21 May 2021, under the theme of 'Resilience'. 

TED talks give charismatic speakers the opportunity to expose new ideas in the fields of Technology, Entertainment and Design (TED) to a broad, international audience. These ideas must be supported by concrete evidence and ideally address a subject that has not been explored before.

This year, TEDxWoking has partnered with award-winning local IT support and managed services company - ramsac - to bring together an afternoon of engaging speakers and TED videos. Rob May, ramsac's MD and an experienced international presenter has shared some of his useful hints and tips with potential TEDx speakers. Rob's talk has received more than 245,000 online views to date.

Ges Ray, our compere for the day is Founder and CPSCB  (Chief Public Speaking Confidence Builder) at Speaking in Public. During the auditions Ges helped our speakers  polished their performances and provided them with some top tips on how to deliver a confident talk on the day.

This year we had over 80 applications and after a selection process and auditions we  are looking forward to eight extraordinary Ted talks on the day. Speakers are confirmed but there is still an opportunity to get involved. To be part of the virtual audience, please buy tickets for Friday 21 May at 1.30pm. Tickets need to be booked by 12noon on 20 May  CLICK HERE
