TEDxWomen: It's about time.

Thursday, October 27, 2016 - 12:00am
  • Library Hall

Join the Bud Werner Memorial Library for a FREE livestream from the TEDWomen 2016 Conference while it happens in San Francisco, live at the library for a single day. The conference theme is "It's about time."

Time is personal. We all have the same amount of time — 24 hours a day and yet most of us feel we never have enough. Even with today’s latest inventions, technology, science, we can’t make time or stop time — or can we? Come explore time zones, time travel, time outs and times together. We will explore the conventions and challenges of time. We will ask the hard questions. Because isn't it about time:

To find long-term solutions to climate change, poverty, immigration, violence, race, gender and economic inequities?
To lead for different outcomes?
To challenge our "time-saving" technologies?
To pay full attention and be fully present for ourselves as well as others?

We will hear talks that offer up ideas, stories, solutions.

Session 1: 9:30-11 a.m. "It's about my time."
Session 2: Noon-1:30 p.m. "It's about our time."
Session 3: 3:15-4:45 p.m. "It's about equal time."
Session 4: 5:45-7:30 p.m. "It's about story time."

What is TED?
TED is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less). TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics — from science to business to global issues — in more than 100 languages. TED is owned by a nonprofit, nonpartisan foundation. Their agenda is to make great ideas accessible and spark conversation.
