How much does attending cost?

Just £60.00

Most conferences like these cost hundreds of pounds to attend. Why are you charging just £60.00?”

To start with, TEDxEuston license allows us to charge no more. TED does not pay speakers and neither do we, so that cost is not passed on to you. TEDxEuston organisers do not get paid either. We are seeking generous sponsors who, like the attendees, are passionate about TED and this is their way of contributing to ideas worth spreading.

Why is this TEDx event different from so many conferences?

We follow the TED format as much as possible and the TED conference is unique. The speakers sit with the attendees, many of whom are also involved in wonderful and uplifting work. There are no keynote speakers; all speakers are equal. There are no panel discussions or Q&A. Instead, there are frequent breaks where people can speak to whomever they choose; and because the entire room is filled with people passionate about Ideas Worth Spreading, many new ideas and idea cross-pollination occurs. The sheer beauty of a day like this is that everyone gathered is there to ensure that the ideas move on to have greater impact in our world.

What if I can only come for a short period of time?

Speakers and other attendees are encouraged to stay for the whole event. In fact, we recommend you keep the whole day free. We are planning for an extraordinary time it will be a pity if you miss the best part.

What makes speaking at TEDxEuston special?

TEDxEuston is uniquely African and about inspiring ideas about Africa.
