“We are proud to have Mayor Kasim Reed represent our city on
a global stage,” said Brian P. McGowan, president and CEO of Invest
Atlanta. “TEDCity2.0 is the perfect opportunity to highlight Atlanta as a
thriving hub for business and culture.”
TED, a nonprofit organization that promotes “Ideas Worth
Spreading,” supports world-changing ideas through multiple initiatives,
including TEDx. The program allows self-organized groups to gather local
thinkers and leaders for innovative discussions. Atlanta’s local TEDx chapter,
TEDxPeachtree, is hosting the Sept. 20 simulcast.
“Atlanta’s diversity is one of the reasons why the city has
such a strong global presence,” said Mayor Kasim Reed. “I’m eager to
join leaders from around the globe to discuss urban progress and Atlanta’s
bright future.”
