Leeds International Festival of Ideas is a metropolitan celebration of new ideas and innovation. We invite world-leading thinkers, creators, and pioneers to Leeds to share new ideas and discuss the world of tomorrow.
Our speakers will cover a range of topics, such as entertainment, technology, science, media, sociology and global affairs. By introducing the brightest minds to our city and our city to the brightest minds, we aim to challenge our understanding of the world today and deliver an exciting vision of the future.
