At a Salon, attendees watch TED Talks, sometimes host a few speakers (though it’s not required) and have informal discussions about the talks they witnessed. Salons re-engage your community and team during the time between your main TEDx events, and spark discussion on issues of interest to your local community.
The discussion: A critical element of salon is lively discussions relevant to the community, allowing attendees to actively participate in the event. With much smaller audiences than a standard TEDx event, salons bring attendees together in more intimate spaces, and with more chances to get know and exchange ideas as with each other.
The single subject: Having the ability to focus on only one subject creates focused audience and atmosphere.
The choice of format: Salon events range anywhere from dinner party settings to mini standard TEDx events, and anything in between. It’s up to organizers to decide what size and format is best for their community.
Frequency: Salons are recurring events that offer organizers an exciting way to stay engaged with their communities. Salons can happen between larger standard events, providing a regular touch point for you and your community.
The options: Because emphasis is on discussion in salons, you don’t need to find new speakers; you can discuss TED and TEDx talks that already exist. You also have the option to invite live speakers to your event, too. You have options!
What is expected of you at a Salon? .... possibly by more questions. The goal is that you should be able to answer most of them.
You should also be sure to follow during whatever event you may hosting.
