Gibraltar Cultural Services, working alongside playwright, actor, director and teacher, Julian Felice, will be holding the GibTalks event on Saturday 31st January 2026 at the John Mackintosh Hall.

A statement from GCS follows below:

The idea is styled on the very successful TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) series of talks (www.ted.com). 

GibTalks will see a range of local guest 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.
