Reflecting on the recent TEDxWellington community Salon event held on October 13th 2020.
As with previous Salons, the format is about bringing the TEDx community together as a shared experience, connect with each other, watch some curated TED talks and explore the topics discussed, plus have a few past TEDxWellington speakers to give an update on where they are in their journey.
