Throughout our lives, we are faced with numerous decisions, and making these decisions isn't always a simple task. When we think of steering out of our comfort zone or taking the road less travelled by, we may think of fear and uncertainty. What if we flipped that narrative? What if, once we dared to wander through these uncharted territories, we would find that the rewards are even more fulfilling than we’d ever dreamed of?

“Legacies” 2023 will bring together a collection of talks which will reflect on the lessons of the past, empower the audience of the present, and envisage a better future for all. Through ground-breaking ideas and inspirational stories, TEDxWarwick annual conference will answer the question: what legacy do we want to leave behind?

Hosted by Robbie Lyle, TEDxWarwick presents ‘CHECKMATE’. This conference showcases inspiring stories of speakers who have faced hurdles, challenges, and have come out as winners every time. Be inspired by those haven't let their obstacles define them, and instead have played Checkmate to all the curve balls they've faced. These are their stories and their moments – the ones that have made them who they are. Now it's time to make your move.

The past few years have certainly been difficult and demanding for all of us, with glimmers of hope and resilience being met only with further hardship and sacrifice.

TEDxWarwick aims to look beyond the horizon to guide and inspire us to overcome some of the greatest challenges our planet has faced with student speakers from our very own University of Warwick.

Creativity. Innovation. Creation. The crises shaping our society have served to spur on so many young and impassioned individuals to seek a solution and encourage change in so many aspects of life. TEDxWarwick believes that it is this creative resolve and dedicated perseverance in the face of adversity that will aid humanity as we enter a fraught new decade.

In the ever-changing and fast paced world in which we live, we don’t often get time to consider the direction we’re going in: what does the blueprint of our future look like?

Fear. It’s not your favourite word, is it? Those four little letters conjure up a different response in all of us. Perhaps they illicit a childhood memory you’ve tried too hard to shake. Perhaps it’s the fear of speaking out that you’re fighting to overcome. Or maybe you’re undergoing an ongoing battle with fear and anxiety right now.

We at university often find ourselves at a similar crossroads with the need to make a decision about our future: what job do we want? What kind of person do we want to be? What do we see for our future?

We all have moments when we lose track of our identity. We forget about our goals, disconnect from our roots, send our priorities into disarray; experiences tumble out of our hands and out of control, and we learn nothing from them.

The United Nations tells us we have 12 years left until climate change becomes irreversible. Climate change awareness is gaining traction as researchers and activists fight for recognition of the urgent need for concerted global action.

How can the design of a desk or lampshade change the way we work? Can we design a language that can be understood by every human on the planet? Should our democracies be redesigned to return back to their true purpose?

Defiance. Refusing to obey. Striding into the unknown. In today’s society, we face a plethora of expectations, stereotypes, and standards which impede the development of our individuality. But what if we rejected these externally imposed conditions? What if we defied societal standards? What if we chose to live free of expectations?
