Where every great idea begins — over a cup.
What is a Salon event?
A TEDx Salon is the more intimate cousin of the main stage — a smaller, focused gathering built around a single theme and real conversation.
Instead of a day of talks, a Salon brings a handful of voices and a curious room together to sit with one big idea — and actually talk it through.
For this edition, that idea is coffee.
The Theme
Every meaningful conversation begins over coffee.
The Coffee Circle brings together growers, roasters, brewers, entrepreneurs, and coffee lovers to explore how a daily ritual connects ideas, culture, and community — and sparks creativity and collaboration.
A space for stories, conversations, and perspectives that shape what's next.
Book Your Seat
Seats for a Salon are limited by design — this is a close-up experience, not a crowd. Your ticket includes full access to the panel, the open discussion, curated coffee tastings, networking, and exclusive TEDxPalasia materials.

Coming Soon
Hear fresh perspectives from people who live and breathe coffee — and walk away seeing your daily cup completely differently.
The Salon format is built for dialogue. Ask questions, join the discussion, and connect with a room full of curious, like-minded people.
This is a coffee event, after all. Expect the experience — aroma, flavour, and a few surprises — woven through the afternoon.
Whether you're a founder, a creative, or simply a caffeine devotee, leave with insights you can take back to your own work and community.
TEDxPalasia is an independently organised event inspired by TED, created to spotlight ideas worth sharing. The Salon series carries that same spirit into a smaller room and a single, rich theme.
