TEDxGlasgow
About TEDx
On Friday 1st June 2018, we will welcome thought-provoking, inspirational speakers, thinkers, and doers to our sixth annual event, where we will explore the theme ‘Rethink…‘ at the SEC Armadillo in Glasgow.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organised events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxGlasgow, where x = independently organised TED event. At our TEDxGlasgow events, live speakers come together to spark deep discussion and connect. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organised.
Glasgow is a city of contrasts, from dire mortality rates to a recognised future city. So what better city to use the TEDx platform to bring Scotland together.

The art of the Fringe and the fringe of art
Shona McCarthyThere is an urgent need to embed active, creative cultural inclusion into every aspect of our societies, education, health and well-being, economics, skills and jobs. Why is it that creativity and culture are what we turn to as the last resort when all else has failed?
