TEDxWigan will arrive at The Civic by Capital&Centric for the very first time on Thursday 5 March 2026, bringing an evening of big ideas, fresh perspectives and community-led inspiration to Wigan.

Nichola Howard, Wigan President for Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce, is proud to support the event through Wigan Business Expo sponsorship, helping to champion local voices and create opportunities for connection, learning and positive impact across the borough.

Nichola Howard said: "I am very proud to be supporting TEDxWigan 2026. I’ve been a fan of TEDx for years, so to be a sponsor in my hometown makes it very special. With great speakers lined up, it’s going to be a thought-provoking event.”

TEDxWigan organiser Gemma Holgate from Maddison House Press added: “TEDxWigan is a globally recognised brand that champions new ideas, positive impact and community. To bring this to my hometown and use it as a platform to showcase local voices is a real honour.”

With 8 speakers, a live artist, poetry, and networking, this is shaping up to be an incredible community event.

Alongside the talks, guests can enjoy refreshments, stalls, and time to reflect, network, and discuss the ideas shared throughout the evening.
