The Welsh Valleys have nothing worth listening to!
If that made you prickle then good. That means you have a lot in common with the fine gentleman in this picture.
Let me introduce you to Andy Caress (who is likely to get quite embarrassed by this post but it needs to be said). Andy got so fed up with the way valley communities of South Wales are overlooked, he did something monumental. He decided to create a TEDx event in the heart of the Welsh valleys.
He works tirelessly to coordinate and organise this annual event to ensure everything aligns with TEDx criteria and thus ensures a global stage for what the press recently termed, 'the forgotten valley!'
He goes above and beyond in finding and coaching speakers for TEDxNantymoel in addition to coordinating venue, promotions, tech etc in addition to building relationships with the global TED community. It isn't easy but he does it because it matters!
If like Andy, you believe the Valleys have a great deal worth listening to, then why not grab a ticket and come lend your support at the live event on Sunday 20th October?
