TEDxBathUniversity 2026/27

What is TEDx?

TED began in 1984 as a conference focused on Technology, Entertainment and Design, built around the idea of sharing “ideas worth spreading.”

TEDx was later created to bring this concept to local communities, with the “X” meaning independently organised.

Today, TEDx events give people the opportunity to share powerful ideas, stories and perspectives with a live audience.

Building Skills AI Can't Replace

In a world where AI is becoming increasingly capable, the skills that make us uniquely human matter more than ever.

This year, TEDxBathUniversity is focusing on helping you build the skills AI can’t replace - from public speaking and communication to confidence, articulation and thinking on your feet.

We’ll be sharing practical tips, hosting an exciting game show-style competition, and bringing you our TEDxBathUniversity Annual Conference.

Whether you want to speak more freely with others, feel more confident in interviews, improve the way you articulate your ideas, or ultimately get closer to where you want to be, this is the place to start.

Watch this page for updates coming in September.
