About this Event
In a world saturated with information — and misinformation — how do we discern fact from fiction? How do we navigate the complex landscape of traditional and social media to make informed decisions that shape our future?
The TED Democracy Speaker Series continues with a look at Truth, Trust & the Media, bringing together thought leaders, media experts and innovators (speakers to be announced soon) to explore the power and pitfalls of the media.
This is a call to action to confront the truth about truth and celebrate our freedom of speech as a cornerstone of modern democracy.
Also on tap for the night: light bites, refreshments and a live performance (artists to be announced) that will leave you moved and motivated.
Seats are limited, and this event will reach capacity. Secure your place today.

Visit Philadelphia is a nonpartisan 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the rich cultural and historical heritage of our city, including its role as the birthplace of modern American democracy.

The TED Speaker Series is carefully curated to provide an experience that respects diverse viewpoints. We aim to provide our attendees at these events with a thought-provoking experience that will educate but not alienate anyone based on their individual views or beliefs.
As we approach the nation's semiquincentennial, we strive to maintain a forum that encourages informed dialogue and fosters mutual respect, true to the spirit of the dialogues held by our Founding Fathers in Philadelphia nearly 250 years ago.
Visit Philadelphia does not participate in political campaigns, nor support or oppose candidates for public office.
