Zoo Atlanta's Coca Cola World Studio

VENUE: Zoo Atlanta

DATE: November 4, 2011

TIME: 8 AM – 4:30 PM

ADDRESS: 800 Cherokee Avenue SE, Atlanta, GA 30315-1470

[Do NOT go to the main Zoo Atlanta entrance. You will need to  go to the parking lot along Cherokee Avenue. Enter through the “Education/Conservation” gate at the south end of the lot. There will be a security guard posted from 7:30 AM onwards that morning. This year's venue is the Coca Cola World Studio which is located in the Action Resource Center (ARC). And the ARC is located up the hill to your right once you enter the gate. ]

We can’t wait to meet all our 2011 attendees at Zoo Atlanta on November 4, 2011. And, this year we’ve added a few new elements based on your feedback.

The Day will be Live Streamed & Live Podcasted

Previous TEDxPeachtree conferences were live streamed at no cost attracting hundreds of viewers from every continent around the globe. In 2010, we added social media ambassadors who live tweeted the event, collected questions from our Internet audience and fielded those questions to select speakers on camera during each break. We will continue these practices.

Business Radio XThis year, Atlanta Business RadioX will be conducting live radio interviews of attendees and speakers during the breaks to bring you a slice of the conversations that will be taking place at the conference!

We will publish the link to the online podcast on the homepage of this website on the day of the conference.

TEDxPeachtree Photobooth by LeahandMark.com!

Finally, attendees this year will be able to have their unique photo memento made courtesy of LeahandMark.com. Not only will professional photographers from LeahandMark.com be capturing the conference in still images, they will also be bringing a photo booth to Zoo Atlanta where attendees can create their very own images of their TEDxPeachtree experience.

The conference is at capacity but you can host your very own viewing party at your office on November 4th! Join us on Facebook for party tips.
