12/1/11 TEDxWomen Event Live Online or at Paley Center

TEDxWomen--produced and curated by the Paley Center for Media and hosted by Pat Mitchell--is a one-day bicoastal event on Dec. 1, 2011, at the Paley Center in NY + LA. It will continue the global conversation that started at TEDWomen in 2010 about how women and girls are re-shaping the future.

What is TEDx?

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxWomen, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxWomen event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
