TEDxOakPark is a locally organized movement providing TEDx events in our community. TEDxOakParkWomen is an annual lecture series that brings together forward-thinking and innovative women from the community to discuss important topics and new ideas worth spreading in the Oak Park area. TEDxOakParkSalon events are designed for a smaller audience and features an evening of TED Talks, activities, and discussions revolving around a single, relevant theme. A condensed version of a TEDx event, they are distinct in their brevity, opportunities for conversation, and heightened audience interaction.
