Filling out my application for an invite this week. How long did it take between submitted your application and getting an invitation?

It's the same night as Bold City's 4th Year anniversery, and I think Oktoberfest at European Street and another event that night.  Why can't this all be spread out?

I'm fine with the Riverside/Avondale concentration.

This will be an incredible event. The diverse speakers are inspiring, the team pulling the whole thing together is impressive, and the fact that this is happening in RA is only icing on the cake. Looking forward to going.

I attended TEDx Riverside Avondale yesterday.  It was a wonderful event. The speakers were phenomenal. The music was beautiful. The event was so well organized.

TEDxRA was a great event to have in our city.  The best part about it is that you didn't have to be there to experience the event. The organizers have told us that the presentations will be posted online, and so I encourage you to check it out.

The audience was diverse and a really good group of people.  They represented a nice cross section of the Jacksonville community. 

I hope that people will start spreading these ideas locally to help make our community and country a better place.

Thanks again to the TEDxRA team for giving our city such a great asset.
