Theme: Transformation

February 7th is the 1st TEDxYakimaSalon event of 2015, with a theme of "Transformation". TEDx salons are small events that keep a TEDx community engaged. It’s a unique kind of gathering that TEDx organizers hold which allows the conversation to continue, in person. At TEDxYakimaSalon, attendees will have the opportunity to hear live speakers, view TED Talks, and enjoy informal dialogue about these ideas. Completing the registration form below is required for admittance at TEDxYakimaSalon. We are actively seeking thinkers and doers in Yakima across a wide range of fields and disciplines. At the end of the event, there will be interactive time to discuss, design, and engage with other participants on your own ideas worth spreading.
