TEDx Handley BLVD Women 2027: Ideas Worth Spreading

March 19, 2027 « 1 p.m. - 4 p.m 

Shenandoah University 

Stimpson Auditorium, Halpin-Harrison Hall

Application Deadline: October 1, 2026

TEDx HandleyBlvd Women is seeking thoughtful, original voices with ideas worth sharing. A strong TEDx talk centers on

an idea - something that can change the way an audience thinks, understands, questions, or approaches the world. You do

not need to be a professional speaker. You do need an idea worth sharing and a willingness to work with our team to develop

it into a compelling TEDx talk.

TEDx HandleyBlvd Women brings together curious thinkers, community leaders, entrepreneurs, educators, creatives, advocates, and changemakers from Winchester, Virginia, and throughout the Shenandoah Valley. This independently organized TEDx event creates a local stage for original ideas that challenge assumptions, encourage meaningful conversations, and inspire positive change.

Join us on March 19, 2027, for an unforgettable experience featuring compelling TEDx talks, powerful connections, and ideas with the potential to influence our community and the world. Whether you want to attend, apply to speak, volunteer, or become a community partner, there is a place for you at 

TEDx HandleyBlvd Women.

TEDxWomen is an empowering branch of the global TED experience, specifically designed to highlight and amplify the voices of women of Winchester and other diverse backgrounds. This event series showcases women who are pioneers, innovators, and leaders, sharing their groundbreaking ideas and stories across various disciplines. TEDxWomen events are organized independently under a TED license and aim to inspire and foster a sense of community and support for women everywhere. These gatherings provide a platform for participants to engage in meaningful dialogues and connect with others passionate about promoting women's success in all realms of life. Whether through live talks, interactive sessions, or artistic performances, TEDxWomen challenges societal norms and drives transformative change, celebrating the remarkable contributions of women in our community. 

We are TEDxHandleyBlvd Women. We are a self-organized event that will offer several live speakers whose intent is to engage and spark deep discussion throughout our community, including the women of Winchester. Our day will provide the opportunity to hear the speakers as well as offering a chance to have a discussion with them and others at the networking event that will take place right after the program.
