​Event Name: TEDx Women: Rethinking Failure

​Location: The Town School, 540 E 76th St, New York, NY 10021

​Date: November 14th, 2024

​Event Overview:

​Join us for an inspiring TEDx Women event in the heart of the Upper East Side of New York City. This exclusive gathering will take place on the stage of a prestigious private school, providing an intimate and elegant setting for an evening of thought-provoking talks and meaningful conversations.

​In a world where success is often celebrated without recognizing the journey that led there, our theme, "Rethinking Failure," aims to reshape how we perceive setbacks and challenges. We will explore the narratives of resilience, growth, and transformation that redefine failure not as an endpoint but as a crucial part of the path to success.

​Our diverse lineup of speakers brings together experts from various fields, each with unique insights and experiences related to "Rethinking Failure."
