    TEDxCentennialParkWomen will celebrate how these dynamic and diverse people are showing up to face challenges head on, all while empowering each other to shape the future we all want to see. We’re showing up for 2018.

    TEDxCentennialParkWomen brings together a global community of people interested in exploring how change begins: with innovative thinkers who catalyze ideas toward action. Over the past few years, TEDWomen and TEDxCentennialParkWomen have launched some powerful ideas into the world.
