A message from the hosts of TEDxHuntsville:

TEDxHuntsville, themed "Perspectives on Innovation," takes place on Sunday,
Nov. 7th at The Jackson Center on the campus of HudsonAlpha Institure for
Biotechnology.  TEDxHuntsville is a derivative of the parent brand,
TED<http://www.ted.com/> -
Technology, Entertainment, Design - "ideas worth spreading."  TED is
basically an organization of world changers who get together in Long Beach
each year to spread and grow ideas.  They've opened up the brand (hence the
TEDx), and vois la, TEDx events are popping up around the globe.  Dubai,
London, New York, LA, Syndey, Beijing...Huntsville Alabama.  Check out this
