TEDxPotomac 2010 Roundup (Updated)
Thanks again for sharing the day with us and helping to keep the inspiration alive through your ongoing support. Our wonderful speakers and performers, sponsors, volunteers and vendors, and active attendees (in-person and online) made the day one we’ll never forget!
We’ve been completely overwhelmed with conversations about the event that include words like “inspiring,” “creative,” “energizing,” “fun,” and “awesome.”
We genuinely hope TEDxPotomac ignited something passionate, entrepreneurial, collaborative, and/or invigorating in all of you — and that the energy of TEDxPotomac will be sustained for a long time to come.
To keep that energy going now that the event is complete, we’ll be aggregating blog posts and tweets and pictures and just about anything else we can from your experiences at TEDxPotomac 2010. So keep ‘em coming!
