What is TEDxBellevueWomen?
At TEDxBellevueWomen, we aim to create a platform that promotes inclusivity and diversity of ideas and perspectives. We strongly believe in the power of active listening to foster empathy, understanding, and connection among individuals and communities.
In a world riddled with division and conflict, we aspire for TEDxBellevueWomen to be a catalyst for positive change and collective elevation. We want to create a space where people from our community can (bravely!) share ideas.
Our events feature speakers from various backgrounds, who share their stories and ideas on a wide range of substantive and relevant topics. We aim to create an inclusive and thought-provoking environment that inspires our audience to sit back, relax and just listen!
What is TEDx?
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.
At a TEDx event, TED Talks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized subject to rules and regulations.
Since 2009, there have been over 42,000 TEDx events held in more than 182 countries. Talks from these events have garnered more than 8 billion views on the TEDx YouTube channel.

What is TED?
TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading, often in the form of short talks delivered by leading thinkers and doers. Many of these talks are given at TED Conferences, intimate TED Salons and thousands of independently organised TEDx events around the world. Videos of these talks are made available, free, on TED.com and other platforms. Audio versions of TED Talks are published to TED Talks Daily, available on all podcast platforms.
TED’s open and free initiatives for spreading ideas include TED.com, where new TED Talk videos are posted daily; TEDx, which licenses thousands of individuals and groups to host local, self-organized TED-style events around the world; the TED Fellows program, which selects innovators from around the globe to amplify the impact of their remarkable projects and activities; The Audacious Project, which surfaces and funds critical ideas that have the potential to impact millions of lives; TED Translators Program, which crowdsources the subtitling of TED Talks so that big ideas can spread across languages and borders; and the educational initiative TED-Ed. TED also offers TED@Work a program that reimagines TED Talks for workplace learning. TED also has a growing library of original podcasts, including The TED Interview with Chris Anderson, WorkLife with Adam Grant, Far Flung with Saleem Reshamwala and How to Be a Better Human.
