Session 1: Above the Fray 12:05-12:50 pm MT
With doom & gloom chaos, it would be easy to be down in the dumps. Not these leading ladies. You'll hear about change, work, rights, the future, and joy! Hear from actor and activist Jane Fonda, astronomer Heidi Hammel, singer-songwriter and activist Angélique Kidjo, and other icons who are shaping our world. This global gathering will elevate the ideas of women connecting across generations, inspire with personal stories, ignite conversations and uplift our spirits with the connections that are always the hallmark of your TEDxVailWomen Xperience. Xpect a mix of live and on-demand programming, interactive workshops, and other surprises.

Find Your People Interactivity 12:50 - 1:15 pm MT Based on the talks you have just Xperienced, find the virtual room filled with your people, curious about your same questions.

Session 2: Laugh-In 1:15 - 1:50 pm MT How will we find the funny? We are not Xactly sure ourselves. We'll be looking for comedians, odd occurrences that tickle our funny bone. We might uncover a quirky community action or an entertainer you simply have to see. Will it be hysterical? We are searching the waves of possibilities. We'll share our best efforts for a light-hearted, high-spirited session.

Now that was funny! Interactivity 1:50 - 2:20 pm MT We hope you had as much fun watching as we did putting it together! Join your peeps for a few more stories.
