The story

GibTalks in John Mackintosh Hall

A TED-style day of fifteen-minute talks at John Mackintosh Hall, organised by Gibraltar Cultural Services with playwright Julian Felice, featuring local Gibraltarian speakers on personal and light-hearted subjects across separate morning and afternoon sessions, now well into its second decade of modestly priced annual editions.

GibTalks brings a TED-style talks format to Gibraltar's John Mackintosh Hall, organised by Gibraltar Cultural Services in partnership with playwright, actor, director, and teacher Julian Felice, and built specifically around local voices rather than imported international speakers.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

GibTalks' defining feature is its exclusively local speaker roster: unlike international TED and TEDx franchises, every guest is drawn from Gibraltar's own community, with the programme deliberately favouring anecdotal and personal subject matter over corporate or purely academic topics

02

The mystery stays covered

Having run for more than a decade under the sustained creative direction of playwright Julian Felice gives the format unusual continuity for a locally organised talks series, and the modest £10-£15 ticket pricing keeps it markedly more accessible than many comparable talks events
