🎩 Do you believe in magic?

Maybe the better question is…

Do you believe you know how it works? 👀

Ed Sumner brought magic, comedy and a healthy dose of mischief to TEDxWolverhampton — and reminded us that sometimes the best experiences are the ones we can’t quite explain.

🎤 Words can make you think.

They can make you feel.

And sometimes… they can hit you somewhere you weren’t expecting.

Bilal Akram brought poetry, rhythm and storytelling to the TEDxWolverhampton stage — reminding us just how powerful language can be.

👀 What assumptions are you making?

We all have them.

About people. About situations. About what we think we know.

But what happens when we stop and question the assumptions we’ve made?

Tracy Turner explores the power of challenging our own thinking — and what can happen when we’re willing to look again.

🌊 3,000 miles. 53 days. 20-foot waves.

And apparently… that wasn’t the hardest part.

Sam Weber knows a thing or two about what happens when the plan falls apart.

In our TEDxWolverhampton Fireside Chat, he talks resilience, leadership, teamwork and finding a way forward when you’re already in the middle of the storm.

For too long, women’s health has been an afterthought.

🤖 What happens when you start feeling like an imposter… to AI?

We’re used to wondering whether we are good enough.

But what happens when the thing making us doubt ourselves is a machine?

💃 What if the thing that makes you different… is actually your superpower?
