Final Chance for Tickets! November 7, 2026
Worthy. Powerful Beyond Measure.
2026 Theme
— the shift that happens when we live from our worth.
Worth remembered. Power revealed.
It’s a day designed to remind you of your power and an invitation to be curious.
What is now possible…living from our worth?
What do we carry across the threshold of self-doubt into self-truth?
- Genuine Connection -
We thoughtfully plan for creating conversations and building community — before, during, and after the talks. This is a gathering of people who want to think and connect more deeply.
- Ideas Worth Spreading -
Carefully curated talks from women in our community — short, powerful, and rooted in lived experience. Topics that challenge, delight, and stay with you.
- Volunteer Powered -
Every role — from production to hospitality — is filled by passionate community members. This is our event, built with thoughtfulness, for our community.

Meet your host
Living her worth, not chasing it.
Jennifer is the heart and driving force behind TEDxSammamish Women. She knows firsthand what it means to face unexpected challenges.
But instead of letting that define her, she leaned into her own power, grew, and is now thriving. And fully showing up as worthy in every part of her life.
Through TEDxSammamish Women, Jennifer wants to inspire women to remember the same truth. Your worth is not something to earn, prove, or negotiate. Even in the face of life’s curveballs, you’re always enough.
