Gibraltar Cultural Services, working alongside teacher and playwright Julian Felice, will be holding a conference event on Saturday 24^th January 2015 at the John Mackintosh Hall. Based on the successful TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) series of talks (www.ted.com), Gib Talks will see a range of local speakers deliver fifteen-minute talks on a broad spectrum of subjects with the aim of focusing on the anecdotal, the personal and the light-hearted as opposed to heavy-going academics and agendas. The speakers will represent a cross-section of the community and will help to make up a rich and varied programme.

In addition to the invited guest speakers, four ten-minute slots will also be made available to members of the general public who would like the opportunity to speak to an audience about an issue close to their hearts. Interested parties should contact [email protected] or inform the Gibraltar Cultural Services, Events Department at John Mackintosh Hall on telephone 20067236 or email: [email protected]. Final slots will be allocated through a public draw.

Tickets for the event will be available shortly and will enable ticket-holders to drop in and out of the event as they please during the course of the day, with refreshments and live music provided in the premises.

Gib Talks has a Facebook event page and a Twitter account (@gib_talks) for more information.
