The inspirational TEDxNHS 2019 will be livestreamed from London to the three Innovation Agency sites on 4 October.
This year the event has special significance for the Innovation Agency: it is curated by our Programme Manager for Engagement Charlotte Hall. Charlotte has helped select and coach the speakers – who include our former colleague Jen Gilroy-Cheetham – for the event that features a number of speakers who aim to inspire their audience to innovate and challenge their own organisations.
The TEDxNHS series is officially licensed by the non-profit TED organisation whose mission is to spread ideas in the form of powerful presentations. This year’s TEDxNHS speakers will address the theme of Beyond our Component Parts.
The livestream will be available between 10am and 6pm at:
- Sci-Tech Daresbury: Merrison lecture theatre in the Daresbury laboratory
- Liverpool Science Park: Green Room
- Preston: room 177 at Preston Business Centre (the Innovation Agency meeting room)
