Get a head start and be the first to apply for TEDWomen Presents
We’re so excited to announce that applications for TEDWomen Presents are now open! This year, you’ll be able to join us from your home, your office, or just about anywhere. TEDWomen Presents will take place virtually on October 24–28. We have a special price for early supporters, available if you apply by Tuesday, September 20 (or until sold out).
Each day of the week will be centered on a unique theme. Ranging from overcoming barriers and accomplishing goals, deep diving into capitalizing on the new ways we work, ideas driving the quest for equality around the world, cultivating joy in business and in life, and an in-depth look at how to step up and shape the future. Here are a few things you can expect on a Connector pass…
Live daily content: Ask questions in a live interactive Q&A session with iconic speakers happening throughout the week.
Discovery Sessions: Take advantage of the deep-dive workshops to explore new interests and connect with your fellow TEDsters.
Creative connections: Find opportunities to connect and build relationships from the community chat to rapid-fire 1:1 conversations. And gain access to our award-winning app, TEDConnect.
If you would rather watch the live and recorded talks, and gain access to the on-demand content and video archive without the interactive component, you can join us on a Gallery pass (no application required).
If you have any questions, email conferences@ted.com.
We hope you'll join us.
