A great distraction for a lovely Friday!
Savannah’s first TEDxCreativeCoast was held a year ago, in June. Hosted at Meddin Studios, a little over 100 people joined 18 speakers for a day of sharing, networking, learning and thinking.
It was an awesome experience - even though we didn’t have air conditioning - in June, in Savannah, in a (re-purposed meat-packing) warehouse. We featured some of Savannah’s brightest ideas, and hosted a few folks from outside the creative coast to share their innovative thoughts, as well. Last year’s event was unforgettable for many reasons, the least of which, though, was the temperature. The speakers were amazing; the staff and volunteers worked tirelessly; the energy was high and the audience enjoyed it all.
Adam Van Brimmer at the Savannah Morning News wrote an article offering a little insight into pulling off our second event. After you check that out, be sure to buy your tickets and join us next Friday, May 13th at the Jepson Center for a full day of ideas, innovation and inspiration.

About TEDx
x = independently organized event
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, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. 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. Started as a four-day conference in California 25 years ago, TED has grown to support those world-changing ideas with multiple initiatives. The annual TED Conference invites the world’s leading thinkers and doers to speak for 18 minutes. Their talks are then made available, free, at TED.com. TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Al Gore, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Nandan Nilekani, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Isabel Allende and UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown. The annual TED Conference takes place in Long Beach, California, with simulcast in Palm Springs; TEDGlobal is held each year in Oxford, UK. TED’s media initiatives include TED.com, where new TEDTalks are posted daily, and the Open Translation Project, which provides subtitles and interactive transcripts as well as the ability for any TEDTalk to be translated by volunteers worldwide. TED has established the annual TED Prize, where exceptional individuals with a wish to change the world are given the opportunity to put their wishes into action; TEDx, which offers individuals or groups a way to organize local, independent TED-like events around the world; and the TEDFellows program, helping world-changing innovators from around the globe to become part of the TED community and, with its help, amplify the impact of their remarkable projects and activities.
