About TEDxAtlanta
TEDxAtlanta and TEDxAtlantaWomen are flagship conferences of Ideas into Action, a Georgia-registered nonprofit founded on the belief in the power of ideas to build stronger communities. These community-led gatherings are part of TED's TEDx program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Along with interactive experiences throughout the year, TEDxAtlanta and TEDxAtlantaWomen are planned by a team of volunteers led by Atlanta entrepreneur and TEDxAtlanta / AtlantaWomen licensee Jacqui Chew. The first TEDxAtlanta conference was organized in 2009 and more than a dozen speakers have been featured on TED.com. For more information, visit www.TEDxAtlanta.com.

About TEDx
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TED Talks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)

About TED
TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading, often in the form of short talks delivered by leading thinkers and doers. Many of these talks are given at TED conferences, intimate TED Salons and thousands of independently organized TEDx events around the world. Videos of these talks are made available, free, on TED.com and other platforms. Audio versions of TED Talks are published to TED Talks Daily, available on all podcast platforms.

TED's open and free initiatives for spreading ideas include TED.com, where new TED Talk videos are posted daily; TEDx, which licenses thousands of individuals and groups to host local, self-organized TED-style events around the world; the TED Fellows program, which selects innovators from around the globe to amplify the impact of their remarkable projects and activities; The Audacious Project, which surfaces and funds critical ideas that have the potential to impact millions of lives; TED Translators, which crowdsources the subtitling of TED Talks so that big ideas can spread across languages and borders; and the educational initiative TED-Ed. TED also offers TED@Work, a program that reimagines TED Talks for workplace learning. TED also has a growing library of original podcasts, including The TED Interview with Chris Anderson, WorkLife with Adam Grant, Far Flung with Saleem Reshamwala and How to Be a Better Human.
