We've split TEDxDesMoinesWomen into two opportunities this year, based on feedback from past events. Come for a lunchtime viewing of TED talks introduced by local women leaders, then have the opportunity to tour Dress for Success, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering women.
Hear live speakers in the evening, at a session that puts the ideas of local women on the stage and participate in interactive activities designed to introduce you to other attendees and expand the experience.
