A familiar activity can be just as exciting and impactful for your attendees as an unusual one. In Brussels, Belgium, TEDxBrussels hosted a Salon that invited participants to reflect on the food system through actions and ideas. The group cooked together and enjoyed a shared meal, then listened to talks about the relationship between food choices and climate change. A collaborative activity that’s familiar to almost everyone, like cooking, can help enthusiasts and newbies alike connect over a range of perspectives. By renting a commercial kitchen equipped with proper tools and infrastructure, the team also simplified their event logistics and connected with a local organization.

Host your Salon at a venue that enriches your attendees’ connections to the topic and your community. In Chicago, US, TEDxChicago held a Salon about design at a well-known design center in the city’s downtown. Including event areas, showrooms and a co-working space, it was an ideal location for the short talk program as well as for attendees to mingle comfortably and gain inspiration from the history and art around them. The multi-part event included the choice of a workshop and an excursion to a local design gallery, where guided activities and tours helped the audience reflect on the day’s ideas intentionally. Use TEDx Salons as a way to keep your community connected, all year round.

Make sharing feedback extra easy and fun. In Donauinsel, Austria, TEDxDonauinsel designed playful areas for people to write colorful notes to speakers and share their mood of the day by placing their recycling in specific bins.

Bonus points for giving speakers a sweet gift as well as making sure that every drink can was recycled. [📸: @samirsagaev] #TEDx #TED #TEDxevents #TEDxDonauinsel #Donauinsel #communityengagement
