About the event
Ideas worth spreading on the theme of love.
Inspired by the timeless message of The Beatles and hosted at Watford's Bhaktivedanta Manor, the iconic and historic estate gifted by George Harrison, TEDxWatford presents an unforgettable evening exploring the many dimensions of what we all need — love.
Human connection. Compassion. Purpose. Impact. This unique gathering brings together thought leaders, storytellers, and change-makers to share powerful ideas and personal journeys that challenge, inspire, and uplift. From science and spirituality to leadership and creativity (and music!), each talk examines how love, in its broadest sense, shapes our lives and the world around us.
This first ever TEDxWatford goes beyond a conference. It's an immersive experience designed to bring communities together from Watford and beyond, spark meaningful conversations, and foster genuine connection around ideas worth spreading.
All you need is love.
What is TEDx?
In the spirit of discovering and spreading ideas, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxWatford, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxWatford event, TED Talks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.

Bhaktivedanta Manor is the iconic and historic estate gifted to ISKCON by George Harrison in 1973. Set in the rolling Hertfordshire countryside just outside Watford, it's a place steeped in the spirit of the music, the message and the moment that inspired our theme.
We can't think of a more fitting setting to spend an evening exploring what we all need — love.
