FOLLOWING a sell-out event this year, TEDxCorsham returns for talks on the theme of 'So what...?' focusing on topical and global issues as well as personal stories to challenge our perceptions.

The event kicks off at 7pm at the Pound Arts Centre.

TED is a non-profit organization sharing ideas worth spreading. It started as a four-day conference in California 30 years ago, and now has a global following with talks are made available online at TED.com., including presentations by Bill Gates, Jane Goodall and Sir Richard Branson

TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At last year's Corsham event, speakers included Helen Belcher, who has campaigned for many years on trans issues and press regulation, Rachel Neaman on technology and Dave Jarman on the importance of having a side project outside of work.

Speakers for this years events will be announced in January. Tickets are £15. To book, visit tedxcorsham.com.
