TED2022 A NEW ERA
A lot has changed since TED last gathered in Vancouver three years ago. We return not for more of the same, wonderful though that was, but to celebrate a new era. Despite the awfulness we’ve lived through, the future beckons with extraordinary possibilities we couldn’t have dreamt of. In medicine, in AI, in clean energy, in the ways we work, the ways we learn, and in the fundamental economic and social systems that underpin everything else.
TEDx Salon events are unique, intimate gatherings that spark discussion on issues of interest to the local community. Salon events around the world range anywhere from dinner party settings to mini TEDx conference events, and anything in between. Our monthly salon events are informal gatherings over pizza and drinks that feature screenings of existing TED Talks around a single topic.
​
We're really proud to co-curate these events with the audience - at each event the participants have the opportunity to vote on the next months topic and to suggest topics to be voted on.
