Walk forward with confidence

We all know that when it comes to global gender equity, there's still so much work to be done. It's time to reset, to rethink, to collectively imagine different ways forward. 

This year we’ll joyfully celebrate those taking bold strides into the future, those working unapologetically to make big dreams become reality. Whether working on new models of equity and inclusion or blazing trails as pioneers, this year's speakers demonstrate luminous new thinking and ideas designed to enchant, uplift and inspire us all.

Join us in Atlanta for a journey that begins with not one but ... Two Steps Forward.

Who Attends?

Not just women — we need everyone to build a better future.

As the quest for true equity remains elusive — TEDWomen is a joyful space for all leaders at the top of their field across industries, genders, generations, geographies and disciplines.
