TEDxStockholmSalon happens three to four times a year as a complement to the big annual TEDxStockholm. The Salon events are shaped in a smaller format, they last only for two hours and do not host more than 100 listeners. Three speakers share their inspiring stories complemented with the presentation of a TED talk covering a diverse topic, and mingling sessions during the breaks.
