We are so thrilled that TEDWomen will be calling Atlanta home for the next three years starting in 2023. The TEDWomen conference is an annual event that celebrates and embraces the power of women and girls to be both creators and change-makers. The 3.5-day experience will be held from October 11 to 13 in 2023 and will feature an international roster of speakers across the gender spectrum. It is expected to draw attendees from across the globe.
Our team has begun conversations with TEDWomen to explore incorporating local initiatives into the experience.

On behalf of the 2022 TEDxAtlantaWomen team, I am excited to share that tickets for the inaugural TEDxAtlantaWomen conference to be held on Friday, November 4, 2022 were sold-out over the weekend. A link to the free livestream of the conference will available at www.tedxatlanta.com on November 4.
The team and I are thrilled at the response! This is the earliest – a full month before the event – that a TEDxAtlanta event has been sold-out.
Ten presenters will take the stage to share their vision of building a more inclusive and equitable world where girls and women can spread their wings and truly Soar. An exploration of the Theory of Mind, a deeply personal journey on the transformative power of the arts, a unique perspective on building resilient food systems and a surprising take on housing are just some of the topics that will shared.
We encourage those who are tuning in to the livestream to share photos of their viewing party on their favorite social media channels with the hashtags #TEDxATLWomen and #Soar.

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.
