WE THINK OUR MIDDLE NAME IS CURIOSITY... AND FUN!

To demonstrte that, we celebrate our post-event for PACE: Impact Beyond Speed with this short video shot by our main stage photographer, Scott Blasken, during the initial talk by Julien LePage. We kicked off with a dynamic shared drumming activation, demonstrating that "pace" takes many forms...

Our event would not be what it was without our amazing volunteers and our speakers...

For us, it's a rare thing to have one hard-working event photographer capture another having a moment of pure, raw, fun... that's what makes this such a delightful discovery when we were checking photo sets and saw this one of long-time volunteer and true TEDxCalgary friend Scott Blasken. He has captured more iconic images for us over the years with his masterful eye.than we can count, so our thanks to the About Love Photography team for this one!

In today's world, scale is key... from ideas to the products and services that may be derived from them, they need to scale to a point of gravity and momentum in order to be noticed and become part of our shared ideas space.

We're featuring four individuals that won ScaleUp Week awards in 2025, as each symbolizes an important idea baked within their scaling journey. That the outcome was scale is important, but we're focusing on the idea behind the business or initiative!

What is a Salon event?

In the TEDx licencing system, a Salon is a smaller, more intimate 75-150 person event with a maximum of 4 live speakers whose talks are being recorded, as is the format for this Salon event.

The term "Salon" takes its name from the famous salons held during the Enlightenment, with particular relevance from the 1700s to mid-1800s. Salons were a focus of learning and debate, full of deep conversation and new connections among participants, and personified by civility of debate and shared curiosity. Most often they were curated and moderated by powerful women in society who otherwise couldn't participate in some of the vibrant scientific, artistic, and philosophical forums of the time.

Our TEDxCalgary Salons follow those principles, with the speaker talks sparking our shared curiosity and giving us ample material to focus on for our structured small group discussions after the talks are delivered. Be prepared to participate and share YOUR own ideas!
