LESSONS LEARNED FROM TEDXSTHELIER 2014
THINGS THAT WENT WELL
Got it done, and learned a lot for next time
Video quality is good
Managed to get 100 to attend, and more wanted to
Stayed in budget
THINGS TO IMPROVE
Next time provide food (buffet?): it encourages people to attend and creates a welcome atmosphere
Next time involve schools earlier and be discerning who to involve: some promised lots and delivered nothing
Contact Head teachers and Students directly – politicians and intermediaries are unreliable
Need more sponsor & sponsorship to grow the event (quantity of audience and quality overall)
Over-reliance upon traditional media (BBC, CTV and Radio) and under-use of social media (FB, Twitter, Web etc)
PLANS FOR TEDXSTHELIER 2015
Consider a 24/25 September “mini-event” linked to State Street sponsored Film Festival?
Consider a theme – like approach used by Guernsey
Involve more people and organisations, like Heritage & Schools
Consider student exchange, maybe with Glasgow?
Consider direct contact and involvement of students (via social media)
Consider shadow scheme for students to follow/support organisers
Have less frequent “organising team” meetings, but longer durations – get more done
Consider bigger, better venue for 2015
Start by applying to TEDx for 2015

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event
