2024 SPEAKERS

Identity

TEDxAberdeen returned in 2024 focused on a theme of Identity. Our audience and speakers came together on Saturday 16th November 2024 at the Music Hall in Aberdeen for a passionate day of stories on mental health, fashion, death, language and family.  

There is much to explore with the theme of identity – how does identity impact a community? Does it hold it back or push it forward? What happens when identities are eroded? How do we prevent our identities being stolen online? What impact does social media have on our identities? Does maintaining an online identity differ from our identities ‘off-line’ – does it compromise our authenticity or reveal who we truly are?
