TEDxSMUWomen 2015
TEDWomen 2015 was a TED event curated by TED and Pat Mitchell that focused on women and women’s issues. TEDxWomen events are TEDx events hosted around the live webcast of TEDWomen, and will also feature live, local speakers. Our event was called TEDxSMUWomen and was one of many TEDx events that happened around the globe on May 28 that expanded on the ideas brought up at TEDWomen.

At TEDWomen 2015, we’ll explore the bold ideas that create momentum in how we think, live and work today. From the young scientist revealing a breakthrough discovery to the activist who methodically transformed how the world thinks about women. From the veteran CEO whose trade secrets turn organizations around to the athlete whose extraordinary comeback shocked the world.
