'CRAFTING THE UNEXPECTED'
TEDxBradfordonAvon is an independently organised event. The aim is to bring together speakers from fields as diverse as engineering and haiku poetry to act as catalysts for participants to explore creativity in its widest sense. The theme is 'Crafting the Unexpected'.

TED stands for:
Technology, Entertainment, Design.
