"We can choose to act right now. We can choose the quality of our action - doing right, now. And we choose to live in Austin --a place that's so right, especially now. Welcome to TEDxAustin 2011 Right Now."
This year's event (the second for Austin) was designed specifically to engage our community in the ideas, issues and conversations we need to be aware of right now. And to provide a platform to help folks get more involved in the topics that most grab their attention.
We also worked hard to bring this theme to life via a highly experiential XLab which surrounded the main event; it was curated to include 11 installations that shared an idea in a provocative, multi-sensory way, hands-on way.
