Leading thinkers, activists, artists, philosophers and entertainers from the MidAtlantic region

TED conferences bring together the world’s leading thinkers and doers for a series of talks, presentations and performances. TED celebrates the convergence of Technology, Entertainment, and Design. TED events have been called “The ultimate brain spa,” “Davos for optimists” and “A journey into the future, in the company of those creating it.”

What can you expect to see? Speakers at TED events – some of the world’s most fascinating, innovative and influential individuals – are challenged to give “the talk of their life” in 18 minutes or less. Attendees are as exceptional as the speakers. Sharing and connection happens from the stage or in the lounge. It’s the conversation that will change your life.

TEDx is a new extension initiative of the TED organization. The first TEDx MidAtlantic conference will be held on November 5, 2009, and will follow the TED form and spirit. TEDx events are independently self-organized events, licensed by TED.
