TEDxOrlandoSalon Monthly Meetings

In addition to presenting an annual conference, we also host monthly meetings, typically held on second Thursdays. Monthly meetings are informal, intimate, and can be a great way of meeting other people in the area who enjoy TEDTalks.

What are the monthly meetings like?
TEDxOrlandoSalon is held at Taste, a casual restaurant in the College Park neighborhood. A typical meeting draws between 15 and 50 smart, interesting, engaged people. Some will be regulars and some will be newcomers. Some choose to eat during the event, others choose not to. Two TEDTalk videos are shown, each followed by a discussion break. The event program is determined by vote, and discussions are open-ended.

Should I eat ahead of time?
The food at Taste is wonderful and many people choose to eat during the event; other folks choose to eat ahead of time. We've tried to structure it to so that everyone can tailor the experience to their preferences.

What talks will be on the program?
Because we offer attendees a selection of talks to choose from during the evening, we don't publish a program in advance. Talks we've shown in the past include:

  January 2012 Pavan Sukhdev: Put a value on nature!
Christopher McDougall: Are we born to run
December 2011 Cynthia Kenyon: Experiments that hint at longer lives
Alison Gopnik: What do babies think?
November 2011 Daniel Wolpert: The real reason for brains
Jay Bradner: Open-source cancer research
