TEDx Asheville holds three salons during the year: June, September, and December. We lovingly call them our Red Rug Roundtables! Each salon has its own vibe, but typically builds upon the theme of our main speaking event.
Guests are invited and encouraged to participate and collaborate: we want to hear what you think, what you have to say, and how, collectively, we can make change. As per TED’s original goal, we look to “inform and educate audiences in an accessible way.”
