About TEDxGreenvilleSalons TEDxGreenvilleSalons are a series of monthly TEDxGreenville events that allow the growing TEDxGreenville "tribe" to continue sharing Ideas Worth Spreading after each annual TEDxGreenville main event. We’d like the TEDxGreenvilleSalons to serve as an opportunity to get even more “melting” going on in this wonderfully diverse melting pot we call Greenville (or gumbo pot as some of us like to say). At each TEDxGreenvilleSalon you can expect to enjoy one or more TED (or TEDx) videos and a presentation or performance organized around a specific theme or topic- and there will always be ample time for discussion afterwards. It's all about spreading great ideas, sharing perspectives, and helping surface amazing stories and talent from right here in Greenville. If you have an idea for a TEDxGreenvilleSalon or would like to get more involved, please contact our Inclusion Team for more information.
