We are very excited to announce Desiree Scales has been chosen as the new Newsletter/Blog Editor for TEDxPeachtree in 2011. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is call TEDxPeachtree, where x=independently organized TED event. At our TEDxPeachtree event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.

Desiree will work with a team of writers including Tricia Molloy, Cindi Kurczewski and Nichole Bazemore, in the creation of stories, interviews and event updates throughout the year. She is excited about the opportunity to bring TEDxPeachtree to the forefront of people who haven’t heard of the event and to update those who have attended on the continued accomplishments of past and future speakers.
