TED. That’s all that needs to be said. It’s been such a big part of my personal development over the last few years and it’s something that has grown to be so beloved for its accessible brilliance that it’s permeated even the most prominent of new sources today including all over CNN. (it’s about time “good” became mainstream)

Well a lesser known “baby TED” is home right here in my own backyard, and its called TEDx Atlanta. Some of you may have read my earlier posts about the September TEDx, interviews and more, and for others I hope you will read them soon. Even if you don’t really read …

When I wrote about Eric Lewis my prior TEDx post, I was supposed to continually update you with video’s from the conference/gathering here in Atlanta. However, I’ve been waiting to write about the lecturer’s so that I could include video footage which was taken by Unboundary.

Ciannat Howett is the director of Sustainability for Emory University and has done quite a bit for the development of the way Emory operates everything from buildings, to courses, to social events. She is a wonderful speaker and you should definately check out this video.

I got a chance to sit down with the Tod Martin, CEO of Unboundary in Atlanta and talk about the upcoming TEDx Talks that they are hosting. Watch as Tod talks about when he started attending TED, where and when TEDx Atlanta will take place, who the speakers are, and more!  A full list of TEDx Atlanta speakers can be found HERE.
Also, a big shout-out to Kyle Jones and all of the other cool-cats at Unboundary for the interview and the tour!

So you all might have read my earlier post of excitement about the localities of the TED talks (called TEDx) and now I have a bit more details for the Atlanta event which is just a couple months away. (September 15th, 2009)

Unboundary will be curating and hosting the talks and so far they have some exciting stuff posted up on the TEDx Atlanta website. It looks like Eric Lewis, Dr. Carl Hodges, and Dr. Richard Farson are already up for slated performers/speakers. You can watch Eric Lewis perform and Ray Anderson speak at …

For all you hipsters keen on TED lectures and who can’t get enough of the erratic addition to knowledge, may I suggest viewing one NEAR YOU!

That’s right folks, TED has been piloting these in other cities such as Tokyo with much success and now they are planned for tons of cities around the world!

TEDx Atlanta is coming in September! Visit the site for more details!
