TEDx Atlanta

Unboundary hosted the very first TEDx Atlanta at our office on Tuesday.  TED - the mother conference - is all about "ideas worth sharing."  They do this through technology, entertainment, and design.  TEDx is an independent, local, self-organized event that exists with the hopes of bringing a TED-like experience to your city.  

I'll share our story in pictures, but you can find out more here.
