TEDxOrlando Salon

TEDxOrlando's Why.

At TEDxOrlando, we believe that ideas are the tools for positive change in the world. We get up everyday to create a platform for people to share ideas that matter with people who want to make a difference.

This Event’s Why.

As society progresses, there has been a noticeable shift in the type of businesses that are taking off and thriving. It seems the market today is demanding that companies not only meet their initial needs, but also be intentional about making the world a better place while they are at it. The intention of this event is to explore this shift and hear powerful ideas around how to harness it.

What is a TEDx Salon?

A TEDx Salon event is a more intimate experience that dives into a specific topic. This type of TEDx event provides a platform for a meaningful discussion around topics that matter to the community. Still be ready for the TEDxOrlando Main Event coming up in October!
