TEDxAtlanta Announces 2024 Conference Date and Theme

ATLANTA — TEDxAtlanta, Georgia’s largest TED affiliate, will be hosting its 2024 mainstage conference on Friday, Sept. 13, 2024, with the theme: The Future We Will Create.

The 2024 conference will bring together dreamers, thinkers, and doers for a day of deep connection and conversation. The theme invites attendees to reimagine a shared future where technology harmonizes with nature, communities find common ground, and innovation dances with tradition.

“Imagination and dreaming are the beginnings of creation. Without dreams we would lose our sense of possibility, of hope. I welcome Atlantans to dream of the future with us at the 2024 conference because in the words of the inimitable Gloria Steinem, ‘dreaming is a form of planning,’” said Jacqui Chew, TEDxAtlanta licensee and curator.

About TEDxAtlanta

The TEDxAtlanta conference series is an initiative of Ideas into Action, a Georgia-registered nonprofit founded on the belief in the power of ideas to build stronger communities. Along with interactive experiences throughout the year, the TEDxAtlanta event series is planned by a team of volunteers led by Atlanta entrepreneur and TEDxAtlanta licensee Jacqui Chew. These community-led gatherings are part of TED's TEDx program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Since the first TEDxAtlanta conference in 2009 more than 20 speakers have been featured by TED to be amplified globally from a catalog of 200,000 TEDx Talks.

About TEDx

TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TED Talks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection. 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
