Public Talks and Workshops
"It was a pleasure to work with you and your talk was great."
Mandy Reynolds, TEDx Curator and Licensee, Cornwall
"It was a great (TED) talk. "
Peter Sjostedth, Exeter University
"I was very honoured to be invited along to TEDxTruro with Jarrang. I am a big fan of TED talks and regularly watch them online so it was amazing being able to attend a talk in Cornwall.
It was a great listening to all the fascinating speakers as part of the live audience and I found this massively increased the impact of their speeches on me, making certain speeches capture my attention that I otherwise would not have considered giving my time to.
An example of this was a speech given by Hugh Hastings, a Chelsea football club photographer and his experience as a photographer for the last 40 years. I’m not particularly a fan of football but his speech on how the value of a photograph has changed dramatically over the years through the development of technology and the importance of treasuring and collecting memories really left an impression on me.
Overall it was an amazing day and I left the event feeling like I’d gained an insight into subject areas that I’d never been exposed to before. I’d definitely go again!
