TED Women

ATTENTION: Due to COVID-19, TED Women will take place online.

This is an uncertain time. And yet, amid the physical, cultural and economic challenges affronting us at every level — from personal to global — now is the time to engage. At TED Women 2020, we will call upon our collective fearlessness to create a global step forward together.

In this moment, diversity of ideas is more important than ever. As such, in collaboration with an incredible group of TEDx organizers, we’ll celebrate and amplify the most interesting, dynamic, multi-dimensional ideas — from Lagos, Nigeria, Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, Montreal, Canada, Colombo, Sri Lanka, and Sydney, Australia.

Talks, along with an array of interactive participatory sessions and other opportunities to connect will be shared via TED’s custom digital conference space, allowing for interaction and reactions together in real time.

TED is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less). TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics — from science to business to global issues — in more than 100 languages. Meanwhile, independently run TEDx events help share ideas in communities around the world.
