Booz Allen Hamilton Headquarters

Last week, I photographed the newest TEDxTysons salon event – Casting a Wider <Dot> Net. On this occasion, the venue was spot on for talks around technology and the impact it is having today. The Booz Allen Hamilton headquarters is in the middle of the growing Tysons, Virginia neighborhood – the Boro. Also it is impossible to miss the high technology companies in the surrounding office buildings.

The technology expo was setup in the auditorium reception area when guests started to arrive. It set the scene for discussions on developments that may be part of daily life sooner or later. In contrast, the talks went in depth to higher level thoughts on technology and its impact or our life today.

In order to capture the photos, I had to stretch my stealthy skills. In fact this venue may have the lowest noise floor of any TEDxTysons event so far! Please check out their website for all the photos and to hear the talks.

Barns of Wolf Trap

Lessons Learned was the newest TEDxTysons salon event. Prior to the night of the event, I visited the space with other volunteers. Since I had never been to the Barns of Wolf Trap before, this was a good move. As a venue, this was a particularly appropriate site for their talks. Not only do they have a fully-equipped stage, but they have a food and reception area just outside the auditorium.

Speakers – Lessons Learned – TEDxTysons

When the show started, it was immediately apparent that this was stage ready for productions. Stage lighting and perfect acoustics elevated the TEDx experience for the audience. In contrast to the other venues that were in corporate locations, this felt like a production in a cinema. The presenters talked about learning from mistakes, overcoming failures, and enduring loss. In general, the speakers really engaged through authentic stories, inspiring outcomes, and a little humor! Check the TEDxTysons site for the videos that will be released soon.

Capital One – Tysons, VA

TEDxTysons held Concrete Jungle – another salon event at WeWork – Tysons last month. By comparison, this had an intimate feeling – a smaller room with the audience in closer contact. The salon was setup as an event for presentation on developments in our growing urban area. For this reason, horticulturists and landscape designers were the main presenters.

In contrast to the enormous auditoriums of their previous events, the audience was really shoulder to shoulder this evening. It had the feeling of a dinner party compared to a corporate convention. In short, it was what I had preconceived what a salon would be.

The WeWork in Tysons was the venue on this occasion. Seeing that they had a space filled with natural light from the large windows with natural surfaces on their walls, it set the scene nicely.
