Founded in 2017, TEDxTinHauWomen is only annual TEDx event dedicated to women in Hong Kong. The name Tin Hau pays homage to the Chinese Goddess of the Sea and recognises Hong Kong’s unique coastal and spiritual history. TEDxWomen events are TEDx events hosted around the live webcast of TEDWomen, and also feature local speakers.

In 2020, we organised TEDxTinHau Countdown - a day of community activities, planet-friendly lunches and the TEDxTinHau Countdown Talks with six incredible speakers passionate about climate action and helping Hong Kong to #JoinTheCountdown.

TEDx

x = independently organised event

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organised 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-organised events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organised TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organised. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)

TEDWomen

TEDWomen is a three-day conference about the power of women and girls to be creators and change-makers. The program of speakers, workshops, events — and daring discussions — has sparked some of TED’s most iconic moments yet.

TEDWomen brings together a global community of women and men interested in exploring how change begins: with innovative thinkers who catalyze ideas toward action. Over the past few years, TEDWomen and TEDxWomen have launched some powerful ideas into the world.
