TED2022 A NEW ERA
A lot has changed since TED last gathered in Vancouver three years ago. We return not for more of the same, wonderful though that was, but to celebrate a new era. Despite the awfulness we’ve lived through, the future beckons with extraordinary possibilities we couldn’t have dreamt of. In medicine, in AI, in clean energy, in the ways we work, the ways we learn, and in the fundamental economic and social systems that underpin everything else.
A TRANSFORMATIVE
WEEKEND FOR
EVERYWHERE
NOVEMBER 2 & 3 2024
LINCOLN ARTS CENTRE
TEDxBrayford Pool 2024 offers a unique and impactful sponsorship opportunity for business leaders looking to align their brand with a globally recognised platform that celebrates innovation, creativity, and powerful ideas.
Unlike an academic conference, TEDxBrayford Pool is a dynamic event designed to engage and inspire a diverse audience, including entrepreneurs, creatives, and community leaders, through thought-provoking talks and performances.
This year’s event, themed United by Ideas, is especially notable for its groundbreaking collaboration with TEDxKyiv, marking the first-ever international partnership of this kind. Together, we’re bringing voices from Lincolnshire and Ukraine to the stage, sharing stories and insights that resonate on a global scale, from tackling pressing social issues to pioneering new technological advancements.
​
Sponsoring TEDxBrayford Pool is your chance to place your brand at the heart of a movement that drives real change. This isn’t about academic discourse; it’s about sparking conversations that matter and connecting with an engaged, forward-thinking community. Your company will gain local and global visibility, enhance its reputation as a leader in innovation and corporate social responsibility (CSR), and be part of an event that leaves a lasting legacy.
​
With a proven track record of success, TEDxBrayford Pool has already seen its talks reach millions of viewers worldwide, generating £5.1m social return on investment. By joining us as a sponsor, you’ll not only gain exposure to a wide and influential audience but also contribute to meaningful change, supporting ideas that have the power to transform communities and industries alike.
​​
The event will be held on November 2nd and 3rd 2024 at Lincoln Arts Centre, with a sponsorship commitment deadline of October 14th.

This year’s TEDxBrayford Pool began in April 2023 with a chance meeting between myself and Iuliia from TEDxKyiv at a UK TEDx organisers’ meet-up in London. Our conversation quickly led to a collaboration, and by November, we were shaping its details.
​
With our Summit License, TEDxBrayford Pool can deliver a day-and-a-half of in-person content. We decided to share half of this programme with TEDxKyiv, bringing together 10 speakers and performers from Lincolnshire and 10 from Ukraine on November 2nd and 3rd at Lincoln Arts Centre.
​
Amid the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, this collaboration, themed “United by Ideas,” aims to amplify new ideas and solutions, and provide a platform for voices silenced by conflict, offering hope and inspiration.
​
This event marks the first international TEDx collaboration of its kind, and we’re proud to partner with TEDxKyiv to bridge communities and continents in the pursuit of knowledge and understanding.
​
As the home of the Magna Carta —celebrating its 810th anniversary next year— Lincoln is a fitting platform to champion freedom of expression during these tumultuous times.

Program Director & International Department Coordinator, TEDxKyiv.
In these challenging times for Ukraine, it is more important than ever to create spaces where voices can rise above the noise of conflict. Our collaboration with TEDxBrayford Pool is a heartfelt effort to bring together voices from Ukraine and Lincolnshire. In November speakers and performers from each of our communities will share the stage, creating a powerful dialogue that transcends borders.
​
This partnership is not just an event; it is a testament to the strength of unity and the resilience of the human spirit. We are deeply honoured to stand with TEDxBrayford Pool, bridging our communities in the shared pursuit of hope, knowledge, and understanding.
​
As Ukraine continues its journey through adversity, we are reminded of the importance of freedom—freedom of thought, of expression, and of collaboration. Together, we have carefully curated a programme that reflects these values, featuring live speakers, performers and videos that offer insights into everything from conflict resolution to innovative scientific discoveries. Each presentation is a beacon of possibility,
a reminder that even in the darkest
times, there is light.
