In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group.

We are gathering to cross some, to build some, and even to explore some --- BRIDGES. Through pre-recorded talks from the 2017 TEDWomen event in New Orleans (https://tedwomen2017.ted.com/?ted-tw) to the captivating 'ideas worth sharing' in our own community, we will learn, grow and experience 'BRIDGES' in our own unique way!

We invite you and your daughter (3rd - 12th) to be apart of the connections and join in the experience of TEDxSnellvilleWomen. (There will be a special coding workshop for youth!) Join us by registering today.

There is no fee for this one day event. However, pre-registration is required. Seating and space is limited.

Make plans to join in the conversation on Saturday, November 4th. Now, at this time of deep divides and rising global challenges, we will hear TED Talks from entrepreneurs, innovators, artists and activists, thought leaders from business and civil society—bridge builders from around the world.
