Momentum. Moving forward. Gaining speed. Building traction.

In parallel with the TEDWomen conference during May 27-29, TEDxStockholm will also join the movement with a TEDxStockholmWomen: Momentum conference.

Why Momentum? We are looking for bold ideas that create momentum in how we think, live and work. TEDxStockholmWomen will focus on “how change begins”.

We will not only broadcast selected TEDWomen talks, but bring our talented line-up of those who seek to ignite the flame that begins change. Our speakers are change-makers who challenge the status-quo and catalyze action toward a tangible transformation in society; extraordinary individuals who are fighting hard to make a difference, who are creating momentum every day.

We want you, our community, to walk away feeling energized and inspired to start a movement in your own life that can empower yourself and others.

So in the words of TED, join us May 28th to celebrate the movers and makers; problem-solvers and do-ers in order to start your own path towards bold discovery.
