DMF Talks, the Del Mar Foundation’s unique version of TED Talks, draws its speakers from the exceptionally deep bench of locally-based creative, intellectual and scientific leaders. Launched in 2012, DMF Talks aims to entertain, inspire, and inform the Del Mar community through a series of free presentations.

DMF Talks on Video

Due to the strong demand and consistent capacity crowds in the Powerhouse for DMF Talks events, in January 2015 the Del Mar Foundation started a partnership with Del Mar TV to create videos of DMF Talks events for the education and enjoyment of the Del Mar Community and beyond. The Del Mar Foundation presents three to five DMF Talks events per year. Below you will find videos of past DMF Talks events. Due to video production schedules, there is a several month delay between a DMF Talk event and the availability of the video. Please enjoy past DMF Talks while you wait for your favorite recent talk!

In response to the County’s public health order prohibiting public gatherings, the Del Mar Foundation is temporarily hosting virtual DMF Talks via Zoom. We have also created our own YouTube channel where we will post videos of the virtual DMF Talks for those who aren’t able to join the live Zoom event. Click here to view the channel.
