We hosted our first-ever TEDxPhiladelphiaWomen event on Monday, December 3rd at World Cafe Live! This year’s theme was Showing Up -- “Women the world over are no longer accepting the status quo. They’re rising up, breaking out and pushing boundaries. Whatever their focus and talent -- business, technology, art, science, politics -- these pioneers and their allies are joining forces in an explosion of discovery and ingenuity to drive real, meaningful change.”
We heard from the inspiring live speakers listed below as well as speakers from TEDWomen 2018.

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 events are under the banner of TEDxPhiladelphia, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxPhiladelphia events, 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.
We're seeking financial supporters, in-kind partners, media/promotional partners, and more to partner in a variety of ways for the 2018/2019 season. Contact us if you're interested!
