TEDxWomen 2012: The Space Between

November 30-Dec. 1, 2012, Washington, D.C. Curated and produced by the Paley Center For Media http://tedxwomen.org/

  1. We'll be curating the conversations happening at TEDxWomen in Washington D.C. and at coinciding events around the world. 


    “TEDxWomen has the power to change communities, and when linked together, change the world,” Pat Mitchell, CEO and President of The Paley Center for Media said. “Now, more than ever, women have seen their collective power when they work together, share ideas, and elevate each other’s voices.” 

  2. An amazing theme for the TED Women Conference - the space between (and really cool interpretations of the theme for each session) - planning to stream and watch many of the talks. Check it out!
  3. @patpaley kicks off #TedXWomen! Over 10K are tuning in at 150 events around the world, in every time zone.
