TEDxBelltown Women Sets the Stage for Education and Inspiration with Local Partnerships
SEATTLE, WA – July 30th, 2024 —As the TEDxBelltown Women event gears up for its impactful day, December 7th, 2024, 9:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., the excitement is contagious among the communities’ robust network of partners, attendees, dedicated volunteers, and organizing team. This public event, a beacon of innovative ideas and community empowerment, has rapidly galvanized support across the community. The collaboration of local businesses, strategic partners, media, and enthusiastic volunteers underscores the community’s commitment to amplifying diverse voices and fostering real-world ideas to create change. The TEDxBelltown Women team is setting the stage for a full day of speakers, performers, culture, and discussion panels that will conclude in networking, dinner and a public after party to continue the conversations and celebration.
Organized by local adventure explorer and media entrepreneur, Liz Galloway, she shares her vision for this year’s theme; UnlimiTED: Reinventing Realities. “I aim to bring together thinkers, innovators and stories that resonate with amplifying the female voice in a new perspective. This is so timely especially with recent changes in our presidential candidates, featuring a woman and providing us with an opportunity to galvanize together as a bigger voice. This feels like the year of the woman!”
Partnerships and Community Engagement: TEDxBelltown Women provides an exceptional opportunity for businesses to engage with forward-thinking audiences while supporting a platform that drives social impact and innovation. Event sponsors and partners play a crucial role in bringing transformative ideas to life, benefiting from extensive visibility for one of the most anticipated events on Seattle’s cultural calendar.

About TEDx: x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TED Talks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
About TED: About TED
TED is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to discovering, debating and spreading ideas that spark conversation, deepen understanding and drive meaningful change. Our organization is devoted to curiosity, reason, wonder and the pursuit of knowledge — without an agenda. We welcome people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world and connection with others, and we invite everyone to engage with ideas and activate them in your community.
TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, but today it spans a multitude of worldwide communities and initiatives exploring everything from science and business to education, arts and global issues. In addition to the TED Talks curated from our annual conferences and published on TED.com, we produce original podcasts, short video series, animated educational lessons (TED-Ed) and TV programs that are translated into more than 100 languages and distributed via partnerships around the world. Each year, thousands of independently run TEDx events bring people together to share ideas and bridge divides in communities on every continent. Through the Audacious Project, TED has helped catalyze more than $3 billion in funding for projects that seek to make the world more beautiful, sustainable and just. In 2020, TED launched Countdown, an initiative to accelerate solutions to the climate crisis and mobilize a movement for a net-zero future, and in 2023 TED launched TED Democracy to spark a new kind of conversation focused on realistic pathways towards a more vibrant and equitable future.
