Kindly supported by dlr Local Enterprise Office
Thanks to the continued support of the dlr Local Enterprise Board, we’re proud to bring 8 wonderful speakers and guest speaker Ken Gibson who will talk about Why Philanthropy Matters. Fergus Finlay as our Vote of Thanks will give an appreciation – and we have a most special recital with celebrated concert artists harpist Fiona Gryson (www.fionagryson.ie) and clarinettist Berginald Rash (www.berginaldrash.com), an ensemble forged in friendship, mutual respect and joyful musical collaborations that highlights the timbral beauty, emotive expressiveness, and unique pairing of the harp and clarinet.

Now in our 4th consecutive year we’re back with a ‘live’ event in perhaps the most intimate theatre around, once again kindly hosted by dlr LexIcon. After our individual experiences of a global pandemic, this year’s TEDx Dun Laoghaire Speakers have much to share. They are people who, in their own way continue to make a real difference in our world. Their interests are varied as are their backgrounds and professions. Each with something to share, yes ideas worth sharing. Through their talks they will inspire, motivate, educate and through their unique experiences open our minds and hearts to a different way of seeing, understanding and appreciating our world. Context is indeed everything as you’ll learn as you hear nine speakers each with a different interpretation of Legacy. Democracy & Autonomy exploring ‘The Impact of Culture in our Changing World’ – talks we know will leave you with invaluable insights

About Speaker
Ken Gibson is a philanthropist, committed to creating opportunities for people to live fulfilling lives and to make the world a better place. He’s 100% Irish yet truly global. His work extends across 4 continents. Ken is equally at home in his native Dublin or navigating the rural villages of India.
He has dined with royalty and is equally privileged to have shared food with families in some of the world’s worst slums. He’s as comfortable in corporate boardrooms as sitting in the doorways that impoverished Asians call “home”.
Ken is 1000% committed to fighting disease, poverty and injustice. He is the Chief Executive Officer of The Mission To End Leprosy. The organisation’s name sums up what it’s all about.
