What is modern love?

Have you liked, swiped right, or favorited someone today? Social media and dating apps are changing the way people interact, date, love and engage in relationships. Your modern love story can begin without having to leave the comfort of your own home, develop over a series of Skype calls, and end with the abruptness of a text message. What does all of this mean for the future of love? Join us for this free TEDxABQ Salon | Modern Love, on Saturday, February 13th, 2016 at the Downtown Public Library auditorium from 2-4pm as we explore these conversations and more through TEDTalks, comedic relief, spoken word, a panel discussion, and—yes—face to face conversation.

Featured Talks

Pulled from TED and TEDx events all over the world, these talks formed the core of our conversation at TEDxABQSalon | Modern Love.
