TEDxWarrington COVID-19 Update

Due to the current health and economic crisis, TEDxWarrington has been postponed. We have secured a licence extension and are working towards holding the event on 24th June 2021.

The speaker application process has been frozen and the applications we received before the closing date will be held securely on file. The panel will resume reviewing applications as soon as it is safe and right to do so.

Although the TEDxWarrington team is bitterly disappointed that we can’t yet proceed with event planning, we feel that it is right to give our community and economy sufficient time to reach a healthier place, and one where our theme of building connection and strengthening communities will be more important than ever.

Please watch the video update and follow our social media channels for further updates.

We wish everyone well and look forward to seeing you all next year.

Thank you for your support.
