Salons offer an intimate audience the chance to engage with each other and explore next level ideas through a collection of highly-curated talks revolving around a globally relevant or locally important theme. The TEDxUGA 2021 Next Level Salon Series will feature six incredible talks, each paired with interviews featuring the presenters and other special campus and community guests. Mark your calendar and join the presenters and TEDxUGA team as each Salon is premiered live on the TEDxUGA Facebook Page. Registration not required.
