Bonfire supports TEDxBedford 2014

Bonfire Creative Intelligence is delighted to announce that tickets are now on sale for TEDxBedford, the local event format licensed by the world famous TED.com to provide a day of thought-provoking talks, from local, national and global speakers. This year’s event will be held on the 15th November 2014.

This is the second year that we have been a main sponsor of TEDxBedford which forms part of our ongoing commitment to supporting, developing and sustaining creative networks and communities.

We’re very excited about this year’s theme of ‘byDesign’ where 15 speakers will talk about the clever thinking behind the design of objects, behaviours, businesses and services, and how they have been inspired by the higher ideals of beauty, nature and community.

Among the 15 speakers, some of which hail from Brazil, Paris and Wales, will be:

Jean-Baptiste Danet: ‘Business is beautiful’ – CEO of the global Dragon Rouge Group. He will suggest it is time to look at value in a different way. What if we take a different set of drivers for business – integrity, curiosity, elegance, craft and prosperity?

Jo Atherton: ‘Flotsam weaving’ – Artist Jo Atherton weaves playful tapestries made from flotsam found on the beach, replenished with each changing tide. Jo uses her art to inspire and challenge our views on plastic and the states of our oceans.

Jonathan Sands OBE: ‘Decoding Creativity to Drive Growth’ – Chairman of Elmwood ‘the world’s most effective brand design consultancy’. Jonathan will explain that design is the most powerful tool any business or any nation could embrace.

If last year’s TEDxBedford is anything to go by then attendees are in for an inspirational day. It’s a great way to spend a day with amazing people.
