TEDxTamworth 2025
On March 26th, The Assembly Rooms in Tamworth will host an event unlike any other —TEDxTamworth. A stage where inspirational speakers, game-changing ideas, and community-driven discussions come together to spark real conversations and create lasting impact.
This year’s theme, “Community”, explores how people coming together can create positive change. Over 12 speakers — a mix of local voices, thought leaders, and professional speakers — will take to the TEDxTamworth stage to share ideas that challenge, inspire, and redefine how we live and work together.
Among the lineup, change-makers, entrepreneurs, and storytellers will discuss topics such as mental health awareness, youth empowerment, sustainability, digital innovation, and social inclusion — each offering a fresh, thought-provoking perspective.
But TEDxTamworth isn’t just about listening — it’s about engaging. Attendees will: • Experience three interactive intervals, featuring canapés and refreshments • Receive exclusive goody bags filled with TEDxTamworth-branded gifts • Attend a wrap-up party, celebrating the day’s thought-provoking discussions
Bringing TEDx Home
After speaking on the TEDxSouthampton stage, Chris Williams saw first-hand the impact a TEDx event can have — sparking new conversations, inspiring action, and creating a lasting sense of community. That experience planted the seed for TEDxTamworth, igniting the drive to bring that same energy, inspiration, and opportunity to his hometown.
"TEDx isn’t just about sharing ideas — it’s about creating a space where people connect, challenge, and support each other. I wanted to bring that to Tamworth, to open doors for local voices and help shape our community’s future.” – Chris Williams, Curator of TEDxTamworth
At its core, TEDxTamworth is about connection — not just between individuals, but between communities, industries, and ideas. Whether through technology, mental health, sustainability, or business, every speaker will bridge gaps, challenge perspectives, and encourage collaboration.
Communities thrive when people connect. This event is about opening up conversations, breaking down barriers, and helping Tamworth — and beyond — prosper through shared knowledge and experience.
