TEDx Wows at Truro School

During the half term break,  Truro School welcomed TEDxTruro to The Burrell for their first event for 2025.

Held in Truro School’s on-site theatre, The Burrell Theatre, this sold-out event welcomed over 140 guests to listen to six fascinating speakers from the Cornish business community, whose job it was to inspire conversation and entrepreneurship across the county.

The line-up started with Fatma Sabet, a British-Egyptian academic specialising in social transitions towards health equity. Naabil Khan, a fourth-year medical student at the University of Exeter, took to the stage to explain her drive for equality in healthcare.

Business owner Kate Doran inspired with her story of overcoming personal adversity, while Sophie Lang, co-founder of one of Cornwall’s largest independent property agencies, encouraged audience members to push forward in the face of fear.

The stellar speakers were completed by Des Bell, a local business leader and entrepreneur and Joe Turnbull, a serial Cornwall 30 Under 30 Winner, who has been recognised as one of the emerging entrepreneurial talents in the region.

It was certainly an insightful and enjoyable afternoon for all those in attendance. With thanks to TEDxTruro and Truro School Enterprises for organising this prestigious event.
