Exactly one month ahead of Destination: TEDxUGA 2025’s liftoff on March 28, the team traveled to Atlanta to take part in TEDxAtlanta 2025: The Future We Create. This day-long event featured 16 talks and a number of interactive experiences that sparked new ideas for our curation and production teams.
Split into 4 sessions, presenters reflected on community-building, sustainability, and the power of technology to advance health care, creativity, and serving others. In between sessions, attendees had the opportunity to connect with presenters, visit the X-Zone to sample sponsor wares, or relax with a massage or immersive sound bath.
Our favorite experiences included adding a few paint strokes to a community mural hosted by presenter and artist George F. Baker III and creating custom scents at the Scentonomy aroma bar.
Spending the day with TEDxAtlanta volunteers and attendees made us all the more excited for the conversations and connections we may inspire at TEDxUGA next week.
