Small Spark is proud to support the Cambridge Cultural Night. This informal and high-standard evening of combined arts, food and drink with good company, which enables as many people as possible to meet each other and offers an alternative podium for professional creative producers within Cambridge.

We have attended the first two of the Cambridge Cultural Nights and really enjoyed them! The exhibitions were thought-provoking, the music was good and the food gorgeous. All ingredients for a wonderful evening.

We look forward to the next one which is planned for the 21st June 2008! Dont miss it!

The TED conference provides inspired talks by the world's greatest thinkers and doers. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from those three worlds. Since then its scope has become ever broader. The annual conference now brings together the world's most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes). This site makes the best talks and performances from TED available to the public, for free.
