On May 15, MadLife Stage & Studios will be the venue for this one-of-a-kind daylong gathering of awesome people, brilliant speakers, and mind-blowing conversations.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDxDupreePark (where x = independently organized TED event) was envisioned by Steve Monahan and Mike Sena to celebrate the city of Woodstock and Cherokee County, with inspiration coming from an ancient Greek proverb:

A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.

TEDxDupreePark will showcase around 20 speakers from around the globe, who will entertain, delight, and inspire you with amazing ideas.

Limited sponsorship opportunities are available, and TEDxDupreePark will offer limited ticket sales beginning in late February. There will also be four or five networking parties before the event, so stay tuned.
