The first-ever TEDWomen conference (hosted by Pat Mitchell last December) took a curated look at women as change agents, intellectual innovators, and idea champions. That event drew more than seventy speakers from twenty six countries to Washington, D.C. Notables included U.S.Secretary of State Hillary Clinton; Somali mother-daughter doctors Hawa Abdi and Deqo Mohamed; Nobel Peace laureate Jody Williams; Egyptian-American blogger Mona Eltahawy; media mogul Ted Turner; and young roboticist Cynthia Breazeal.
The conversation continues this December 1, when TEDxWomen reunites the vibrant global community assembled in 2010 to continue showcasing leading-edge innovation and powerful ideas from dynamic women of all ages—plus a few remarkable men. Join us at TEDxMIAWomen to get a intimate experience of the event in your city.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
