TEDxNY and TEDxLowerEastSide / TEDWomen - Dec. 3, Dec. 7-8

I went to the TEDxEast pre-party (conference was sold out!) a few weeks ago and these events should be great!

Also, TEDxNY is the weekly informal watch-a-TED-talk-and-discuss event.  The other one (below) is more involved / not weekly.  TEDxBrooklyn seems to be monthly and TEDxEast is a big yearly conference. 

TEDxNewYork:
Friday, December 3rd
1pm-2pm
200 Fifth Ave, NW corner of 23rd St & Fifth Ave

AND THE MOST IMPORTANT PART: please oh please RSVP to TRAINING@GREY.COM
Please allow for a few extra minutes as Security has to process each guest.

New York TEDsters join D.C. and the World
TEDWomen is a fast-paced, highly curated two-day stage program featuring TED’s famous 18-minute talks, plus music, comedy, dance, short talks, video interludes and other surprises.
A truly global event, TEDWomen will center in Washington, D.C., and connect live to self-organized events across the globe.

TEDxLowerEastSide joins this global dialogue over the course of a two-day event at Saro Bistro. Menu includes a live streaming of the complete TEDWomen program, engaging conversations, Balkan delicatessens, surprises and after party in the TED tradition.

TEDxLowerEastSide is free & open but Saro is cosy and space is very limited. Attendance is by registration and invitation, and is strictly not for women only.

How are women and girls reshaping the future?
The first-ever TEDWomen invites men and women to explore this question in depth. From the developing world, where a single microloan to a single girl can transform a village, to the West, where generations of educated women are transforming entire industries, women are powerful change agents, intellectual innovators, idea champions …
