TEDx North, TED talks across the North of England courtesy of Codeworks

Codeworks are bringing TED talks to the North of England with a fab TEDxNorth roadshow type affair. I won't explain what TED is, suffice to say it is the conference to be at; maybe because it's invite only, maybe because it's expensive or more likely because the speakers are ridiculously impressive and entertaining. They're absolutely not the normal run of the mill death by powerpoint type events. YouTube is full of TED talks if you want to see what i'm on about.

TEDx are official but independently organised TED events. And, for TEDx North at least, are free to attend.

Anyway so now there are going to be two events in Yorkshire & Humberside.

TEDxLeeds to be held on 10th September at Old Broadcasting House from 5.30pm - 9pm, supported by nti, carbonimagineering and Codeworks. You can register online.

TEDxSheffield to be held on 16th September at Electric Works from 10am - 5.30pm, supported by Creative Sheffield and Codeworks. You can also register online.

I try to keep this blog entirely Yorkshire centric as if the rest of the world doesn't exist, but in case you are unfortunate enough to be elsewhere ;-) :

TEDx Liverpool

TEDx Newcastle

TEDx Manchester

I have a feeling these are all going to sell out fairly fast, especially as they are free to attend, so clear your diary and get registered!
