With so many rapid changes in life, work, and business this year, the world is very different, more complex, and faster-paced. It's short notice, and it's worth rearranging your schedule. Please join us.
This is a hybrid event. You may attend in-person or attend online. The regular ticket is $100. A group rate of 6 is at $50 each. Early bird starts at $50. Price goes up as the date gets closer. Scroll down to see the price schedule.

Why? TED and TEDx are about ideas worth spreading. Attending a live-in-person TEDx event is more engaging than watching the Talks on your own. Besides, you will have a first peek at some of the phenomenal speakers from TED Women without spending the time and energy traveling to Palm Springs, CA. You will listen to the talks and watch world-class performers, with a live audience. Afterward, you can have a meaningful discussion with your fellow TEDx attendees who are known to be creative, curious, and open-minded. You will meet the speakers and have a chance to take lots of great selfies. You might not know the names of the speakers, yet. You do need to know their ideas, now. Scroll down to the Speakers section for details.
What? TEDxLakeShoreDriveWomen is organized by Amy Lee Segami and her team. This event is designed to amplify and localize the TEDWomen message across the globe. With "What Now?” as its theme, TEDWomen 2021 will highlight ideas from women around the world. They are imagining new possibilities and exploring new ideas for how we might live and work better together in the years to come. During the event, there will be a mix of speakers from the global TEDWomen 2021 and those with a connection to the Lake Shore Drive community. The program includes Talks, Entertainment, and invaluable networking by Design.Â
Where? This live-in-person event will be held on Monday, December 6, 2021, at the Mid-America Club. Located on the 80th floor of Aon Center, this venue has a 360-degree stunning view of Chicago, including Jean-Baptiste Point DuSable Lake Shore Drive, along with world-class hospitality. The reception will have hors d'oeuvres and soft drinks. Cash bar with credit card only.
