The TEDxAtlanta 2019 team is pleased to announce its speaker line-up. In its 10th year, the 2019 edition is themed, “Ctrl+Alt+Del” and will on Friday, March 15, 2019 at the Rialto Center for the Arts.

From rest to roadways, sci-fi to swimming and, anger to athleticism, 21 presenters will share ideas that shed new light on the mundane, challenge the conventional and spark conversation around some of the most pressing issues affecting humanity. And, as always, the show will introduce emerging Atlanta talent and a few surprises.
