We have been TEDxStormont licence holders since 2013.
Our team have organised over 20 events and meet-ups, including TEDxStormont, TEDxStormont Women, Salons, City 2.0, TED Global viewing parties, TED Circles, Countdown, and a week-long virtual Summer Camp.
Almost 6 million people globally watched over 140 TEDxStormont talks;
ideas shared, hearts and minds changed, and legacy created. This would not be possible without the support of the TEDxStormont community: speakers, audiences, partners, supporters and sponsors.
TED is a global community, welcoming people
from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world. We believe passionately in the power of ideas
to change attitudes, lives and, ultimately, the world.
TED is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas,
usually in the form of short, powerful talks — in more than 100 languages. Meanwhile, independently run TEDx events help share ideas in communities around the world.
