What is TEDxNorwichED : Dream Big?

TEDxNorwichED: Dream Big is a contemporary, relevant and inspiring TEDx Education event, which is being designed to stimulate discussion and action around how education (in it’s broadest sense), can be improved and how we can inspire people to dream big and succeed.

It will bring together a community of those passionate about education, educators, influencers and decision makers from all walks of life, for an enjoyable day of inspiration, networking and action. It follows on from the run-away success of our 2016 and 2017 events, and has a broad audience from both the education sector and more widely.

TEDxNorwichED has quickly become a main-stay of the UK Education event calendar, attracting attendees and speakers from around the UK and world, and is one of only two full day TEDxED events worldwide, and the only one in Europe.

Presentations at the event will be short, lively and entertaining and will really make the audience think. There will be plenty of carefully planned opportunities for networking and discussion, and an exciting Big Dreams networking and exploration zone with different areas and activities – so that the event can act as a springboard for real, grass roots, change.

About TEDx, x = independently

organized eventIn the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.

At a TEDx event, TED Talks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection.

These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.

(Subject to certain rules and regulations.)

The team behind TEDxNorwichEDTEDxNorwichED is organised by a team of passionate and committed volunteers – all of whom with a passion for education. As with all TEDx events, or organising team give up their time freely.

Partner with us as we share ideas, share inspiration, and dream big together.

Partner with us as we explore how we can inspire people to dream big dreams, to dream outside the box.

Partner with us to search for the dreams that define us and our education system, and answer the question how we can get people ready to pursue their dreams.

Partner with us as we discuss how we can spark imagination, invention and ingenuity, and how we can help people become catalysts for change.

Partner with us as we look at what our tomorrow looks like, and what could happen in education if we allowed ourselves to dream big.

As, surely, it is only by Dreaming Big that Big things can happen?

Who will you be reaching?Our in person audience is a mix of those who work in education (65%), and those who are passionate about education but who do not currently define themselves as working in education. Over 80% of our in-person attendees define themselves as a ‘key decision maker’ within their organization.

As well as our in-person audience, you will be reaching over 10,000 people who are expected to join us online, of which over 70% work in education. This is on-top of the 600,000+ views of the talks expected post-event which feature on the TEDx YouTube Chanel.

A mutually beneficial relationship.We want our partnerships to be mutually beneficial, and offer 3 different levels of partnership, based on the notional value of the support you provide.

Why do we need partnersTEDxNorwichED is entirely voluntarily run, and receives no funding from TED. It is not for profit, but costs over £14,000 to put on.Therefore, we rely on the kind support of partners to help us put on the event and spark the conversations and collaborations. Whilst we charge for tickets, we want tokeep these as reasonable as possible (£30 in 2017), so that ticket price is nota barrier for entry- therefore the kind support of partners, through a mixtureof financial and ‘in kind’ support is essential for our success.

“It was a really good opportunity To be stimulated and reflect on the work

we do and a great chance To network too. There was a good range of stalls

and exhibitions And everything was of a very high Standard... Even the

ideas I didn’t agree with were a provocation to consider what

I did think.” Attendee

The benefits of partnering.All of our previous partners have been very positive

about their experience partnering with us. Partners range from national organisations, to local organisa-

tions and included both those who work in education and those who are not currently working in education.

They all valued the opportunity to engage with commit-ted people who were passionate about education and

have continued to enjoy the benefits post event including through their logos being on all videos, email list partner-

ships and many more ways.

Each partnership is unique, but some of the possible benefits include: -

• Guaranteed tickets for the event, which always sells out– achance to network and discuss education and education change

with key influencers and decision makers.
