Meg Larrabee Sønderlund
Host
Meg's story
"Every day has the potential to expand your perspective.” Your host for TEDxOdenseWomen is the incomparable Meg Larrabee Sønderlund. American born and bred, across California, New York, Massachusetts, Kentucky, and North Carolina, Sønderlund made the quantum leap across the pond to Denmark in 1970. Here, she puddle-jumped from art studies, marriage, children, and degrees in English and business from SDU. Sønderlund says she has “worked forever” teaching and coaching English, creating her own one-woman translation bureau, and finally nearly a quarter of a century teaching at University College Lillebælt. As a mentor to hundreds of students in global communication, innovation, and entrepreneurship, Sønderlund’s generous spirit, effervescent personality, and kind heart made her the perfect host to guide us through the first ever TEDxOdenseWomen. Now, gingerly stepping into the new vistas of “retirement”, Sønderlund is back and ready to take us to new heights as our guide for TEDxOdenseWomen2019.
“I am so ready for new adventures! What a place to begin – TEDxOdenseWomen2019!”

Anna-Sophie Hartvigsen
Anna-Sophie's story
Anna-Sophie is an author, public speaker, and entrepreneur working to financially empower women. Her interest in finance was sparked when she started investing at the age of 19. However, she quickly realized that investing as a young woman can be a lonely experience. At the age of 22, she therefore founded Female Invest, which has already helped more than 10.000 women getting started in investing. Female Invest is Denmark’s largest investment network for women, and the company is now expanding throughout Scandinavia.
During her talk, Anna will touch upon why it is important to increase female participation and representation in financial markets, how this can be done, and what impact it will have on society.

Is it open to men as well?
Yes, the event is gender-inclusive, open to all over the age of 18. The event is focused on a celebration of women’s ideas and achievements. Material, political, and intellectual gender equality is important to both women and men.
Why have a TEDxOdenseWomen event? Aren’t we all supposed to be equal?
Yes, but there is still progress to be made.
We are very fortunate that we can create a platform to shine a spotlight on women.
On our main stage we strive for equal gender representation. However, globally, there are places where women are not equally represented. There are places where women cannot speak openly, where women cannot get the education they need, where women cannot find the role models they can relate to.
“I am a woman, I need this for me. I need more female examples that can act as role models.” - Steffie Limère - Head organizer - on why it’s important to her to organise a TEDxOdenseWomen.
What do you think? We welcome healthy and positive discussions, so reach out to us at info@tedxodense.com.
Is TEDxOdenseWomen sexist? Why not a TEDxOdenseMen?
“It’s an irresistible question, isn’t it? But embedded in that question is a dangerous assumption: People tend to assume that the balance between the sexes is a zero-sum game, that when women win, men lose. But it’s simply not true. In fact, it’s quite the opposite: When women win, we all win. This is one of the key reasons that women are such effective change agents.” - Pat Mitchell - advocate for women's leadership.
Would you like to comment? We would love to hear from you at info@tedxodense.com.
Why not just have more women at the main event?
The purpose of the TEDxOdenseWomen conference is to bring us together to address women’s own, self-determined needs.
We strive for equal gender representation. Behind the scenes, the TEDxOdense team is created by 36% male and 64% female members (2019 figures).
The women in our team came together and saw the need for TEDxOdenseWomen. It creates a platform to celebrate women and puts a spotlight on examples of awesome women and their initiatives. TEDxOdenseWomen is organised backstage by a 100% female team.
