TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxSeattle , where x = independently organized TED event.
TEDxSeattle is one of the first and longest running TEDx events in the world. Now we are proud to say it is one of the largest as well. What started in 2010 as a single-day event called TEDxRainier with an audience of 600 people has evolved into TEDxSeattle with an audience that (pre-pandemic) fills McCaw Hall’s 2,800 seat auditorium.
After the TEDxSeattle main event, TEDxSeattleWomen is our most popular and largest event. In fact, in 2020, our virtual event drew over 3,500 registrations and 1,500 live viewers. In 2021 and into the future, we plan to continue to grow this event and we are looking for a strategic Co-Organizer to help us on this journey.
Why participate? Gain the satisfaction of being a critical part of a large, influential event tied to a global brand. Open doors with the Seattle business community of thinkers and doers.
