We are pleased to announce the theme for TEDxWarwick 2013: Building Bridges. Connections between communities, disciplines and places are often made in the most unexpected of ways. The world is expanding and contracting at the same time: global networks proliferate, yet distance is no longer a barrier. At the same time, traditional boundaries in technology, science, art and academia are becoming increasingly blurred. Links are constantly being forged between everything from physics to photography and biology to computing. Discover what awaits the world of tomorrow at TEDxWarwick 2013.

Buy your ticket at www.tedxwarwick.com/2013/. Early Birds are priced at £10, with the remaining tickets priced at £15. This year, TEDxWarwick will be held in Butterworth Hall, Warwick Arts Centre on Saturday 9th March 2013.

What is TED?

TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Started as a four-day conference in California 26 years ago, TED has grown to support those world-changing ideas with multiple initiatives. At TED, the world's leading thinkers and doers are asked to give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. Talks are then made available, free, at TED.com. TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Benoit Mandelbrot, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Isabel Allende and former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown.

What is TEDx?

TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience (x = independently organized TED event).
