Theme: Business and Mindset Toolkit

TEDxNewtownabbey is an independently organised TED event.
x = independent

TEDxNewtownabbey is your toolkit for a positive business mindset. Our TEDx team decided they wanted to bring an event to Newtownabbey that could bring together a community to educate and inspire one another. That event had to be none other than TEDx.

In the face of negativity, hardship and the idea of a looming recession, we want to give you hope. The objective of this event is to bring great people together as a community to hear important topics related to business, personal development and
positive mindset. This will be your toolkit to progress in life and business preparing you for an amazing 2023.

We want the legacy of this event to be the creation of a supportive network to be there for each other.
We would love to invite you to be part of this on Tuesday 29th November 2022.
