This theme is a commitment to shared stories, collective imagination, and the belief that ideas become powerful when they include — and uplift — every voice, especially the voices of women of Winchester. In 2026, we’ll explore how connection, collaboration, and community can move ideas from inspiration to real-world impact.

TEDxWomen is an empowering branch of the global TED experience, specifically designed to highlight and amplify the voices of women of Winchester and other diverse backgrounds. This event series showcases women who are pioneers, innovators, and leaders, sharing their groundbreaking ideas and stories across various disciplines. TEDxWomen events are organized independently under a TED license and aim to inspire and foster a sense of community and support for women everywhere. These gatherings provide a platform for participants to engage in meaningful dialogues and connect with others passionate about promoting women's success in all realms of life. Whether through live talks, interactive sessions, or artistic performances, TEDxWomen challenges societal norms and drives transformative change, celebrating the remarkable contributions of women in our community.
We are TEDxHandleyBlvd Women. We are a self-organized event that will offer several live speakers whose intent is to engage and spark deep discussion throughout our community, including the women of Winchester. Our day will provide the opportunity to hear the speakers as well as offering a chance to have a discussion with them and others at the networking event that will take place right after the program.
