TEDxBend announces an event focusing on issues of interest to women in the Central Oregon community. TEDxBendWomen follows in the tradition of TEDWomen, a three-day conference about the power of women and girls to be creators and change-makers. This local second annual event will take place October 29, 9am to 2:30pm at the Central Oregon Community College (COCC) Redmond Tech Center.
Women: We are mothers, daughters, sisters, friends. We are executives, entrepreneurs, artists and volunteers. We are loyal, trusting, trustworthy and inclusive. We are intuitive, collaborative, nimble and resilient. Our traditionally feminine traits have the power to affect change in our relationships, our local community, our global societies and the economy. We bring our unique capacities to bear for the collective good.
TEDxBendWomen gathers Central Oregon’s community of women together to connect and dream forward. We’ll present curated talks from the 2016 national TEDWomen Conference as a catalyst for building relationships through small groups, a panel discussion, visioning and action planning and informal conversation.

About TED
TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or fewer) delivered by today’s leading thinkers and doers. Many of these talks are given at TED’s annual conference in Vancouver, British Columbia, and made available, free, on TED.com. TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Nandan Nilekani, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Sal Khan and Daniel Kahneman.
TED’s open and free initiatives for spreading ideas include TED.com, where new TED Talk videos are posted daily; the Open Translation Project, which provides subtitles and interactive transcripts as well as translations from thousands of volunteers worldwide; the educational initiative TED-Ed; the annual million-dollar TED Prize, which funds exceptional individuals with a “wish,” or idea, to create change in the world; TEDx, which provides licenses to thousands of individuals and groups who host local, self-organized TED-style events around the world; and the TED Fellows program, which selects innovators from around the globe to amplify the impact of their remarkable projects and activities.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event
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, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. 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 certain rules and regulations.)
About TEDxBend
Sparked by the celebrated TED conferences worldwide, TEDxBend is our very own locally organized event featuring a dozen talks, demonstrations and performances under 18 minutes each. TED and TEDxBend are 501(c)(3) nonprofits devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading.
