Salons are a series of intimate and engaging events typically showcasing a few TED talks orbiting a chosen theme. Past TEDxSeattle (formerly TEDxRainier) speakers will often join in on the fun, both to participate in the discussion and provide updates on what they’ve been up to.

Examples of past Salons include The Function of Fantasy hosted by EMP, Cultures of Community held at Town Hall and Science, Curiosity and Wonder at the Pacific Science Center.

What is TEDxSeattle?

Seattle, and all the upper left-hand corner, are known for trailblazing ideas put into action. We welcome and champion those who want to challenge the status quo and drive change. TEDxSeattle is a platform that amplifies the ideas of those change makers; a forum to foster new perspectives, and a community committed to challenging its members to be better.
