Right. That’s it. There’s no turning back now: TEDxImperialCollege is officially happening!

Preparations have been underway since October, and the whole team has done a great job keeping such exciting news under wraps for all these months. But now it’s time to break radio silence and spread the word about one of the most electrifying events of the year. On the afternoon of March 24th 2012, Imperial College London will play host to the first TEDx event to come to the South Kensington area. Featuring speakers from the world-class colleges and institutions that surround the university, TEDxImperialCollege is going to be a local event on a truly global stage.

2012 is going to be a milestone for the capital – with the Cultural Olympiad, the Olympics and the Paralympics games all due to take London by storm come the summer. The recent re-opening of the area’s famous Exhibition Road highlights the vital role South Ken will play in creating the London experience, and so what better time could there be to showcase what the area has to offer?

As you may have seen, we’re not giving too much away yet. Registration opens next Friday and we’ll be slowly releasing more details over the coming weeks. It may be a bit of a tease, but believe us, the wait is going to be worth it.
