Anniversaries create space for reflection, and the 10-year anniversary of TEDxPeachtree is no different. An army of volunteers, speakers, exhibitors, and attendees came together for nine years in a row to celebrate ideas worth sharing. We’ve made a lot of friends, created happy memories, and engaged in valuable dialogue.
In a city known for reinventing itself, we recognized an opportunity for renewal. We wanted to honor our past and raise the bar for the next 10 years of conferences, to become more inclusive and more inspirational, while staying true to Atlanta.
So we reached out to our friends at TEDxAtlanta and discussed the possibility of uniting two major TEDx communities in Atlanta by joining forces to create a bigger, better TEDx experience for Atlanta. We were absolutely thrilled when they accepted.
In that light, we are beyond excited to announce that TEDxPeachtree and TEDxAtlanta are moving forward together under the banner of TEDxAtlanta. Our 10-year anniversary conference will be held on March 15, 2019.
We will also be hosting TEDxAtlanta Adventures to keep the curiosity and dialogue going during a time when good ideas need sharing more than ever, so be on the lookout for invitations in the near future.
In the meantime you can still nominate speakers, and we’d love to have you as part of our all-volunteer team as we ramp up for our biggest conference ever.
Thank you for all your support and hard work over the last 10 years, and we very much look forward to the next 10.
What if everything you’ve been taught about building a successful career no longer applies?
Margaret Weniger has spent years exploring that question from both sides of the table. As director of entrepreneurial programs for CREATE-X at Georgia Institute of Technology, she helps founders navigate uncertainty while building companies designed for the future. As a technology sales executive, leadership strategist and author of “Broken,” she has interviewed hundreds of professionals, founders and executives to understand why some people emerge from career disruption stronger than before.
Margaret’s work sits at the intersection of entrepreneurship, leadership and the changing nature of work. Drawing from her own unconventional career and years of research, she challenges long-held assumptions about success, ambition and what it really takes to build a meaningful career in a world that refuses to stand still.
At TEDxAtlanta, Margaret invites us to rethink one of the most familiar ideas about work. The answer may change not only how you think about your career, but also how you approach whatever comes next.
