Theme: Showing Up

Sign up for a day of new ideas, great community vibes and all round mood-boosting at TEDxLondonWomen on February 27th 2022.

2020 was a year when everything changed, from how we fight for racial justice to how we work and communicate.
2021 has forced us to reimagine how we organise our world, care for others, and protect both our people and the planet.
2022 is a time to come together, to Show Up, skill up and fuel up on ideas. We are leading the charge, be the first to join us.

This is not just another zoom meeting.
We’ve created a unique interactive online experience of TEDx talks, workshops with your favourite speakers, conversations with fellow TEDxers and some surprises!

Join us for a day designed to inform, inspire, delight, and challenge, where you can help move the conversation about the power of girls and women in a meaningful way.

Building on the success of our 2021 virtual event, we’re once again bringing you the thrill of a TEDx event directly into your living room.
New year, new ideas, new inspo, from the comfort of your sofa!
