Salons allow the community to come together in between the main TEDx events. Each salon features previous TED/TEDx talk videos and periods of discussion to spark new ideas and talk about issues of interest with one’s peers.

  • Salon 1 is going to be held on October 19th in MSC (TBD) from 3-5pm

    This salon will cover how to give a keynote speech, more specifically, how to give a TEDx talk and what it entails. A previous TED or TEDx talk will be shown relating to public speaking. The floor will then be opened to discussion. Following this, detailed explanations of TEDx guidelines, speaker requirements, and relevant information will be given. Finally, a past speaker will be present for a Q&A session.

  • Salon 2 is going to be held on December 2nd.

    This salon will cover how to prepare for final exams. This will be the most simple of the salons, offering time to watch two previous TED talks, have a discussion, and then snack to gear up for the upcoming finals season.

  • Salon 3 is going to be held on January 24th.

    This salon focuses on becoming more comfortable with networking. After a previous TED or TEDx talk relating to networking has been shown, there will be a guided discussion before allowing the attendees to explore several “stations” with different figures from the Bryan-College Station community. There will also be refreshments and snacks offered while attendees explore an ‘at-your-pace’ networking experience.
