Breaking the Mould: TEDxPorthtowanWomen is SOLD OUT! 🚀
Cristina Axford2 min read
The energy behind Cornwall’s very first TEDxPorthtowanWomen has been nothing short of electric. I am thrilled (and humbled) to announce that we have officially SOLD OUT our venue at Mount Pleasant Eco Park!
While the physical seats are full, the mission to spread these ideas has no borders. On 8 March 2026—International Women's Day, you can join us from anywhere in the world via our YouTube Live Stream.
The Visionary Behind the Event
This landmark celebration wouldn't be possible without the "Epic" woman holding the license: Anna Lempriere.
Anna is a force of nature. Her commitment to curating a stage that challenges perceptions and empowers every generation is what drew 360gurus.io to this project. We’ve worked side-by-side to ensure the tech supports her vision of a platform where "intergenerational wisdom" can flourish.

Supporting Women in Tech & Beyond
As a female founder, my passion for supporting women is woven into the fabric of 360gurus.io. Building the website for TEDxPorthtowanWomen.co.uk was about more than just code; it was about building a gateway for empowerment.
Whether you are a busy mother, a hidden expert, or a student just starting out, this event is for you.
