The event, on Saturday 15th October, will cover topics such as global food security, zero carbon design, sports psychology, overcoming mental trauma, and dance and happiness.
It will also feature performances from local people and include the TEDxBath Innovation Lab, a place for the audience to discover innovations from sponsors, mingle with past speakers, and continue discussions about the talks they have just seen.
TEDxBath Curation Lead Geoff Rich said: “We’re so thrilled to be bringing another amazing lineup of TEDx speakers and acts to the largest venue in our home city.

“We are very excited to offer them our stage and we can’t wait to introduce them to our live audience!”
TEDxBath Lead Organiser Rhodora Baguilat added: “We are building TEDxBath as a fully inclusive community.
“We are looking forward to our event on 15th October and to welcoming people from all backgrounds, ages, genders, sexual orientations, races, ethnicities, and people with visible and invisible disabilities.
“We are passionate and proud to reflect diversity in our audiences, our city, and on our stage.”
