Will you be Showing Up?
Women the world over are no longer accepting the status quo. They're rising up, breaking out and pushing boundaries. Whatever their focus and talent — business, technology, art, science, politics — these pioneers and their allies are joining forces in an explosion of discovery and ingenuity to drive real, meaningful impact.
TEDxVail celebrates how these dynamic and diverse people are showing up to face challenges head-on, while empowering each other to shape the future we all want to see. We're Showing Up with TEDxVailWomen 2018. Will you?
