Theme: Life Online

We’re very pleased to announce that the second TEDxBradford will be joining the launch celebrations of the Life Online gallery at the city’s National Media Museum!

On the afternoon of Friday 30th April, we’ll be diving into the social, technological and cultural impact of the internet with a programme of speakers that will examine its history, its impact on humanity and also speculate about its distant futures.
