Welcome to TEDx University of Greenwich

Hosted this year at Bathway Theatre in Woolwich, the theme for this TEDx is Journeys. Prepare to dive, in real-time, into the story thanks to state-of-the-art hybrid virtual production locations built by trailblazers Mo-Sys alongside Greenwich staff and students.

We will be joined by nine guests, each offering insights into their exceptional journeys. Through these stories, we will explore how individual experiences reflect the broader journey of humanity and search for answers to some of life's biggest questions.
