Speakers 2024 – TEDxAberdeen (Scotland, UK)

Meet our speakers

Say hello to...

Our TEDxAberdeen 2024 cohort!

It’s a tough job to whittling the 97 speaker applications down to a roster of 10 but TEDxAberdeen Curator, Derrick Thomson, understands the assignment…

Derrick reviews all the applications and considers them against the TEDx guidelines, how the ideas will work together on the day, and the interpretation of the theme of ‘identity’.

What Is TEDx?

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxAberdeen, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxAberdeen event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
