𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝗘𝗗𝘅𝗔𝘁𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮?

Hear it from someone who’s been there. Claiborne, a past TEDx speaker, shares a glimpse of what the experience is really about.

Getting on the TEDx stage is only part of the story. It’s about having an idea you believe in enough to share. It’s about being surrounded by people who are curious, thoughtful and willing to challenge the way we think.

Now, TEDxAtlanta / Ideas into Action 2026 is getting ready to bring another incredible group of thinkers, storytellers and change makers to the stage.

If you’ve never experienced TEDxAtlanta, this is your invitation.
Come curious. Leave inspired.

🐝 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘀𝘂𝘀 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗵𝘂𝗴𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀!

Thanks to all the kids, parents and community members of all ages who showed up to spend time outdoors counting bees, butterflies and other pollinators as part of the annual census.

The hot & humid weather did not stop our community from showing up.
What makes events like this so special isn’t just the data we collect. It’s the curiosity we spark in our kids, the connections we build with our neighbors and the reminder that everyone can play a role in supporting our environment.

𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁. 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆. 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝘁 𝗮 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲. 🦋

A huge thank you to everyone who braved the heat, grabbed a clipboard and joined us in the important work of understanding and protecting our pollinators. 💛

This is what community looks like.

We’re Doing It Again: Join for the Great Pollinator Census 🐝

Atlanta is returning to the Great Southeast Pollinator Census. This year, we’re heading to the Chastain Park Native Plant Garden for a morning of counting, learning and hands-on fun.

⏰ Saturday, August 22 | 9 a.m.-noon
📍4001 Powers Ferry Rd NW, Atlanta, GA 30342

Last year, TEDxAtlanta contributed to the 13,432 pollinator counts submitted by Georgians. This data helps researchers study the economic value of pollination, shows city planners where more pollinator habitats are needed and helps growers and gardeners understand which pollinators live in their communities.

Data submitted by 2025 Pollinator Census participants led to the creation of 395 new sustainable pollinator habitats across Georgia.

Joining the count is easy:
😀 Get a quick “how-to” briefing
🌸 Find a flower patch
🐝 Count the pollinators that visit
📊 Add your observations to Georgia’s statewide data

Come with family or friends or join us on your own. No science degree required—just curiosity, sunscreen and a good sunhat.

🎟 RSVP now and help us add to Georgia’s count. https://lnkd.in/dBwr7Vz9
