TEDWomen

Join us for an evening of ideas worth spread­ing as TEDxSalem­Women hosts a screen­ing of TED­Women 2017: Bridges, which takes place Nov. 1–3 in New Orleans, LA.

“This event will give peo­ple an oppor­tu­ni­ty to expe­ri­ence TED on the big screen while learn­ing more about our local TEDx activ­i­ties, which includes the inau­gur­al TEDxYouth@Salem on Nov. 11 and TEDxSalem on Jan. 6,” said co-orga­niz­er Car­lee Wright.

“We have always want­ed to branch out and expand our reach through dif­fer­ent TEDx events so we can car­ry on the con­ver­sa­tion through­out the year,” said co-orga­niz­er Bri­an Hart. “And host­ing a screen­ing of TED­Women is a great oppor­tu­ni­ty for us to do just that.”

We will host two screen­ings: Ses­sion 2: Design (5:30 p.m.) and Ses­sion 3: Con­nect (7:45 p.m.)

TEDxSalem­Women is a free, tick­et­ed event. All atten­dees must reg­is­ter for a free tick­et for each ses­sion. For guar­an­teed seat­ing, each tick­et hold­er must check in 15 min­utes pri­or to the event.
