BRIXTON
GENERATES NOISE.
IT ALWAYS HAS.
TEDxBrixton is one of the
largest and most influential
TEDx events in London. Were a
loud voice for Brixton and we
aim to amplify and share with
the world the best of our
communitys ideas.

Lets talk!

For the third year, this October well

be bringing the thriving Brixton
community to a global audience.
We stop at nothing to achieve our aim of giving
Brixton a megaphone and soap box, to highlight the
amazing ideas, passions and journeys that have
been born in and around this historic part of London.

TEDxBrixton is a hyper glocal event. We dont just

amplify ideas from innovators in Lambeth. We also
bring in other national and international influencers
whose ideas can impact our community. This year we
will be hosting our event at two landmark Brixton
locations; the historic Brixton Recreation Centre and
live streaming to the exciting new POPBrixton venue.

Brixton is a diverse mix (we like to say salad bowl) of

people and all too often these groups co-exist without
really interacting. One of our aims at TEDxBrixton is to
bring these disparate elements of our community
together. Where else would you find the founder of a
soup kitchen sharing the same platform as a
Hollywood director? We believe our stage is a leveller
and anyone with a good idea deserves a platform.
Check out TEDxBrixton 2014, and what people said.
Soon youll find the branding you see here across the
rest of our media. Hope you like the new look!

How can you help?

As usual, were looking for funding support to help us
bring the event to life and we hope youll be inspired
to invest in our vision.
We have a range of partnership levels that give you
the opportunity to align your organisation with the
global and influential brand that is TED, and its local
offshoot, TEDxBrixton.
If you like the sound of what were about, our
partnership team would love to chat with you to see
how we can collaborate.

Hold up. What is TED?

The theme for TEDxBrixton 2015

is Kaleidoscopes.

TED began in 1984 as a gathering place for

innovators and leaders in the fields of Technology,
Entertainment and Design to share ideas and
experiences. 30 years later, TED conferences have
become a nexus for a global community of
individuals who believe in the power of Ideas Worth
Spreading. The best TED Talks are available for free
and accessible globally on TED.com, where the
videos have had more than 100 million views to date.

For the past two years weve held sell-out events to

500-strong audiences. However, were no ordinary
event. Our talks have been viewed nearly a million
times, so we can offer significant exposure and brand
alignment for our sponsors. TEDxBrixton has real
community impact and social value. In the past, we
have:

Provided mentoring for young speakers and

developed their public speaking skills

Sourced donations for local food banks

Created an education pack for different Key Stages

(education levels) from the different themes in our
talks for teachers to use in drama and English
lessons

Our speaker team is busy preparing a list of change

makers and innovators who will share their Ideas
Worth Spreading at our event in October.

Some of our past speakers include:

Environmentalist (and brother of Boris) Leo Johnson,
Managing Director of the Brixton pound, Simon Woolf;
Adventurer, filmmaker, television presenter, Guinness
World Record holder, Graham Hughes; Bestselling US
author, Robert Greene; Space Scientist Dr. Maggie
Aderin-Pocock; Co-founder of Brixton based
marketing agency Livity, Sam Conniff; Theatre
Director and Associate Director for the Opening
Ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics, Paulette
Randall; Bespoke prosthetics creator Sophie de
Barata Oliveira and co-founder of Gandys flip flops,
Rob Forkan.
