    NYC Salon

  • What We Do

    NYC Salon is a speaker series that aims to be "TED with friends".

     

    In 2015, we started inviting people with novel insights or interesting projects in art, economics, science, technology, and comedy to give talks about their work and process, and met every other Tuesday for the next five years.

     

    Engaging deeply with the material and getting to know other attendees is a core principle of NYC Salon, so after each talk, we break up into small groups and dive into fun activities related to the talk.

     

    Our speakers have gone on to give talks at TED, the UN, and at the World Bank. Our goal is to create opportunities for spontaneity, collaboration, and lifelong learning.

  • Stay tuned for our next Salon!

    We're currently on hiatus thanks to the global pandemic, but as of 2023 we're evaluating organizers, venues, and speakers for a reboot in the spring. In the meantime, check our our past talks via the tab at the top of this page!
