The 2026 Line Up
The TEDx Bangor line-up has been fully released now.
We have taken time to shape a programme of voices, stories and ideas that truly reflect the spirit of TEDx: multidisciplinary, thought-provoking, and centred on the power of ideas to change lives and ultimately the world.
With our theme, Share Your Story, each speaker announcement has formed part of a bigger picture — one designed to spark curiosity, conversation and connection.
Speaker Announcements
We believe great ideas deserve the right introduction, which is why the TEDx Bangor line-up has been revealed one speaker at a time. Each announcement has helped build the story of the event, giving our audience the chance to discover the voices, perspectives and ideas that will make this first TEDx Bangor so special.
This is not just about who will be on the stage, but about creating a line-up that feels meaningful, diverse and worth waiting for.
What to Expect
Our line-up is shaped by authenticity, insight and variety. TEDx Bangor will bring together speakers from different backgrounds, disciplines and lived experiences, all connected by the power of story and the impact of ideas shared well. This page has now revealed the people helping to shape a memorable first TEDx Bangor event in County Down.
