You guys are all familiar with these now. These local TED conferences, called TEDx’s here in Atlanta that Unboundary hosts. (x=independantly organized TED event).

Well I’ve done a good bit of writing about these and I’m  about to kick-off the most recent (3rd) installment called RE:LEARN. As with all the TEDx’s so far, we get our brains loose by listening to excellent performers playing powerful music. This TEDx is no different. (See Zoe Keating and Eric Lewis for events prior.)

Enter Billy McLaughlin.

Billy was an famously talented guitarist in his day for his originality and complexity of his compositions and style of playing. However, in the late 90’s Billy was diagnosed …

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.

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.

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 …
