Artwork: Authenticity, by Jenni Jean.

The story

Signal was a room full of curious people at the Conservatorium of Music, with talks, performances and a lot of conversation in between. People from different industries, backgrounds and generations came together for one afternoon of ideas.

Two sessions of talks, a fireside chat with our TEDxNewy Artist for 2026, student speakers and drinks in the foyer to finish. Thank you to everyone who came, to our speakers, and to the partners and volunteers who made it happen.

Speakers

Thanks to those who made it possible.
