TEDxTralee, an independently organised event, licensed by TEDx, returns to Siamsa Tire on Thursday, October 6, with the theme of ‘The Good Room’ and as part of the An Turas Mor – Homecoming Kerry Festival.
Local Curators and Co-Coordinators Bryan Carr and James Finnegan felt that after the stunning success of TEDxTralee 2021, whose talks have been viewed on the online worldwide TED platform over 270,000 times, that there was another opportunity to promote Tralee on the International TEDx map with another series of an eclectic series of talks and presentations from local, national and international speakers.
The 14 speakers come from a variety of backgrounds and unique experiences all sharing their stories and big ideas.

From an initial submission of 48 speakers, these individuals were selected and assisted over a number of weeks and months in developing their presentations.
Speakers include actor and playwright Martin Mahon from Tralee, autism expert Sharon McCarthy, pioneer of organisational narrative, leadership storytelling, Thaler Parker and Crime Scene Investigator Ciaran Prior. For the full list of speakers, click here.
“We are delighted, proud and honored to be able to give these wonderful, inspiring and thought provoking Talks a platform, covering a range of topics from the personal to the global perspective,” said Bryan and James.
“It was always the aspiration for last year’s event to be the first in a series of legacy events promoting Tralee, Kerry and Ireland under the TEDxTralee Banner. This year, with the development of the An Turas Mor series of countywide festivals and events, a wonderful opportunity presented itself to raise the bar once again.”
They also want to encourage and give practical experience to the next generation of production talent working in conjunction and collaboration with seasoned event project leaders.
