WHAT A TIME IT HAS BEEN! SO… WHAT NOW?

The past year has upended so much for so many, and forced global reckonings with systems, processes and policies that too often let us down.

At this year's live-and-in-person TEDxStLouisWomen event, we'll hear from our city’s revolutionary leaders who are imagining new possibilities and exploring new ideas. Our event will spotlight the talent and forward-thinking nature of the women that make our city shine. We'll learn the "what now?" in fields including design, entertainment, technology, science and culture.

Meet our speakers. The thought-leaders answering the question “what now?”

An event for anyone, but especially women who are interested in pushing their boundaries and rethinking societal assumptions.

Hear from a dynamic group of women who have unique perspectives for our city. They’re the people of Saint Louis who truly care — invested in local innovation, social justice, change, and evolving to something different.

When you attend a TEDxStLouis event, we encourage you to have an open mind. Get comfortable with the fact that some ideas presented may make you uncomfortable. Our speakers are aiming to push boundaries, even personal ones. We support a forum for sharing ALL ideas, but content shared on stage is not necessarily endorsed by the TEDxStLouis organization or the individuals involved. What makes a good TEDx talk is an idea that challenges existing beliefs and perspectives.
