What is TEDx?
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Ours is called TEDxMarin, where x = independently organized TED event.
SPEAKING AT TEDxMarin?
If you would like to submit a nomination to speak at a future TEDxMarin or a TEDxSalon, please visit our Guidelines and Submission page or call the office at 415-785-8873 to ask about the process.
What is TEDxMarin?
TEDxMarin’s overall mission seeks to connect and collaborate with organizations, individuals, educators, companies, gifted speakers, community leaders, and thinkers whose vision aligns with ours: building strong, smart, understanding communities through education, innovation, new ideas, and a spark of entertainment.
ATTENDING Join our Member Mailing list to get advance invitations (and discounts) to upcoming events. We are primarily an invite-only event series.
VOLUNTEERING We are looking for volunteers for our Sept 25th after-party. Contact us
We host three types of events.
ANNUAL EVENT At our annual event, we present new TEDTalks on a broad-reaching theme to spark deeper conversations within our community. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized and funded. We appreciate your support.
SALONS Our TEDxSalons go deep into one specific topic, with insights from leaders in their field. These Salons promote thoughtful inquiry, broadened points of view, and include time for a moderated Question and Answer segment between our featured speakers and audience questions. See all our previous talks here.
COMMUNITY GATHERINGS Our community gatherings sponsored by our Board of Advisors keep the local TED community connected “socially” when not dealing with Pandemics. At these events, we showcase local start-ups and non-profits at Tabletop Demos.
