TEDxDroghe­da

-

A fantastic line up of speakers are promised for the upcoming TEDxDroghe­da which takes place on Friday, November 3rd.

The second annual event in the North-East of Ireland was officially launched back in August under the theme ‘Private Lives’. T

The event will be hosted in the Droichead Arts Centre and will provide a broad interpreta­tion of the theme ‘identity’, with presentati­ons by artists, social activists, entreprene­urs, historians, and academics from our local community.

The organizing committee consists of Anna Kurtisa – administra­tor at The Mill Enterprise Hub, Orlaith Carmody – former RTE news reporter and Managing Director of Mediatrain­ing.ie and Seán Ó Cearrúllái­n – director of Sky High Production­s.

Speakers at the event include Keith McEvoy, Colin Guilfoyle, Brendan Murray, Janie Lazar, Sarah Archer, Caradh O’Donovan, Alan Costello and Vinny McCoy.

Because TEDx events are intentiona­lly small, designed to be intimate events that provoke discussion and promote connection, the seating at TEDxDroghe­da will be limited to 100.

Tickets are currently on sale priced at € 30 for a Standard Ticket, and € 15 for a Concession Ticket (students, unemployed, and senior members 65+).

TEDxDroghe­da is a non-profit event and organisers would welcome any sponsorshi­p or contributi­on from companies or individual­s.
