TEDx Atlanta

By Jim Burress

Atlanta, GA – Give the speech of your life. In 18 minutes. As dynamically as possible. And make people think.

It's the charge of "TEDx, Atlanta." TED, an acronym for "Technology, Entertainment, Design," is a popular annual event held in California. The "x" denotes an independently-organized event.

Recently, WABE's Jim Burress sat down with Tad Leithead, chair of the Atlanta Regional Commission and one of the program's speakers, and Tod Martin, President & Chief Executive of "Unboundary", and TEDx Atlanta organizer.

Martin began by explaining what exactly this "TEDx" event is all about.
