Come together and take a break from the ordinary with hundreds of smart and curious friends September 17 and join us as we shine a light on those in our city who have the ideas, the passion, and the will to affect change in their own way. This event is dedicated to “The Changemakers” among us, those who reject the status quo and work to build a better now and a better future, those among us who not only ask what can be, but what should be.
We are thrilled to hold our first outdoor event ever at “The BARN,” the spectacular new indoor/outdoor riverfront venue designed in such a way that we will not be able to help ourselves from “thinking different,” while under the beautiful, modern, structure.
This is our last Salon event of the season. Our Salons are more intimate, shorter format events designed to bring people together between main events during which live speakers and performers will combine to spark deeper conversations and connection. Our last Salon completely sold out and we expect the same here, so do not procrastinate.
note: event prices will increase as the event gets closer.
100% of ticket sales go toward the cost of the event.
About TED
TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Started as a four-day conference in California 25 years ago, TED has grown to support those world-changing ideas with multiple initiatives. The annual TED Conference invites the world's leading thinkers and doers to speak for 18 minutes. Their talks are then made available, free, at TED.com. TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Al Gore, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Nandan Nilekani, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Isabel Allende and UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown. The annual TED Conference takes place in Long Beach, California, with simulcast in Palm Springs; TEDGlobal is held each year in Oxford, UK. TED's media initiatives include TED.com, where new TEDTalks are posted daily, and the Open Translation Project, which provides subtitles and interactive transcripts as well as the ability for any TEDTalk to be translated by volunteers worldwide. TED has established the annual TED Prize, where exceptional individuals with a wish to change the world are given the opportunity to put their wishes into action; TEDx, which offers individuals or groups a way to organize local, independent TED-like events around the world; and the TEDFellows program, helping world-changing innovators from around the globe to become part of the TED community and, with its help, amplify the impact of their remarkable projects and activities.
About 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 event is call TEDxSacramento, where x=independently organized TED event. At our TEDxSacramento event, 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.
