TEDx communities across the globe will convene independent programs in honor of TED’s first TEDWomen Conference (which will be held next week in Washington, DC); the speaker slate is dynamo to say the least.
Do you plan to attend DC’s event or a live streamed program of motivating discussions and ideas worth spreading?
A TEDx story and how the social web inspired introductions:
During this year’s WomenWhoTech Telesummit, I had the pleasure of meeting Janie Hermann on Twitter; Janie founded the TEDxPrincetonLibrary series and expressed interest in celebrating TEDWomen through a locally hosted program. She and her team then put ideas in motion!
I can’t wait to participate in a day of robust conversation at TEDxPrincetonLibrary’s event and present about the night’s timely theme: women and technology in the age of conversation.
The beautiful Princeton Library will host (where TEDWomen will be live streamed and discussed throughout December 7th and 8th).
This particular TEDx event (or @TEDxPrincetonPL on Twitter) will also include a lightning speaker round on 12/7th, showcasing tremendous business leaders Holly Landau, Katie DeVito, Hilary Morris, and Melissa Klepacki. Each will share how they cultivate socially aware brands.
Wait!
…there’s more that night: the smooth, lyrical voice of Sara Donner will perform too.
Want to join us? Please do!
RSVP right here for a super meeting of the minds and enjoy the TEDWomen Conference via live stream. Participate in (and energize) discussions addressing how women and girls are reshaping the future. All this is complimentary to the public at TEDxPrincetonLibrary so please RSVP while seats last (there’s a small fee for dinner, should your appetite get inspired too).
Participating in the superhero-like TEDxPotomac this year with curator Michelle Hoffman created the most incredible memories. I look forward to more ideas worth spreading at this TEDx next week.
If you had 18 minutes, what would be your one big idea to share?
At TEDxPotomac this Thursday, Berit shared why she sees the DC region as an ideal leader for the business philosophy called co-opetition.
-Really enjoyed her talk and her kind, intelligent leadership that framed it.

Wow.
What a fantastic experience meeting Neil through this TEDx gig; his sincere conviction for crowdsourcing is addictive — as is his drive to express a presentation well.

My pics are going up via mobile now with a blog series brewing in the brain on the whole, incredible coaching dynamic that emerged.

There’s a raw thrill of growing a big idea…and in this case, our great big idea is TEDxPotomac.
It’s energizing to see volunteers themselves become a community — investing their drive, strengths, energy into a day of performance, an intended gift for our city DC.
And a lot more will follow soon in a blog series about the thrills and pure tactics of preparing TEDx story arcs (…after our TEDxPotomac event that’s May 20th, W00t!).
I’m organizing the volunteer speech coaching team for our tremendous presenters. Through in-person sessions, Skype, phone, WebEx – we offer support and practice with our speakers on their local TED talk.
And the #1 favorite part of the TEDx experience? Meeting creative, wonderful folks like Chris Keener and Melissa Krodman – our TEDxPotomac emcees!
Meet them too above … as they cut-up and talk shop after this weekend’s planning session.
