'We bring our 1,300 strong audience back to the Brighton Dome every year, because we deeply value the history of the venue and contributions it makes to our City. With an audience our size, we could easily move to a bigger space. However, we would never want to risk losing the rich history and identity that the Brighton Dome adds to our event'Toby Moore TEDxBrighton
