TEDxDeadSeaSalon is an opportunity to be informed, inspired and entertained by enthusiastic speakers from around the world who have amazing ideas worth spreading despite time barriers and physical distances. It is also a chance to discuss controversial issues that shape our beliefs and govern our lives in an attempt to become more conscious and conscientious.

TEDxDeadSeaSalon will take place once a week, where we will be screening a TED talk, a TEDxDeadSea Talk, and/or a TEDx Talk, in addition to an entertaining live performance or speaker. A discussion among the audience will be held afterwards on the ideas presented and we will host a TEDxDeadSea speaker to lead a live discussion on his/her TEDx Talk when possible. The Salon is going to be thematically based, where each theme shall be completed within a monthly cycle. Our first cycle is Education. Accordingly, the first Salon will be conducted in Amman, and repeated in another Jordanian city the following week. This cycle will be repeated bi-weekly, where the duration of every cycle is a month. This is to enable as many people interested as possible to have the opportunity to participate.
