This coming Tuesday (March 15th) will be a busy one for Definition 6.  Not only do we have World Consumer Rights Day and Andrew Jackson's birthday to celebrate (he'd be 244 if he were still alive), but Definition 6's own ECD, John Harne will be speaking at South by Southwest in Austin.  Additionally, TEDxAtlanta, of which Definition 6 continues to proudly support, will be holding its fifth event.

John's Core Conversation is Right Brain to Left: Art of Persuasive Presentations...
Why so many creative professionals in the interactive design and agency business struggle to sell their concepts, executions and creative work to the business decision makers. What are the potential issues of communicating concepts containing emotion and aesthetic content to analytical thinkers.  How some creative professionals are able to sell just about anything to their clients.

And if you go looking for John in the crowd, this is what he looks like:



TEDxAtlanta's focus this time around will be on Creativity...
Some ideas are too big to capture in language but glitter in our understanding of the world. Creativity is just such an idea.  TEDxAtlanta will explore creativity: not just the beauty, humor and ingenuity, but what's behind it.  We'll experience the wonder but also ask the questions.  Can creativity be measured?  Where does creativity live in our brains?  How can we grow more of it?

Talks will be from:
Sally Hogshead
Elizabeth Turk
Armin Vit
Victoria Rowell
Bonnie Cramond
Margaret Baldwin
Linton Hopkins
Michael Ouweleen
Viktor Venson

And musical performances will include:
Idan Raichel
India.Arie
