TEDWomen 2023

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.

Attend TEDWomen to:

  • Learn new ideas

    that inspire you to build a brighter future.

  • Make space 

    to discover a different side of yourself and embrace your true purpose. 

  • Build community 

    with those who can help you ignite your brightest future. 

  • Elevate your work

    to make a meaningful impact with others through your journey.

A transformative 3-day experience for the

Entrepreneur
in you.

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.
