“Through a member of our volunteer team, we were connected with James Wong and Virginia Johnson at Empowered Ideas. Sort of at the eleventh hour (in November, getting ready for our January event), we asked Empowered Ideas if they would be interested in sponsoring the design and hosting of a website for TEDxMeredithCollege. This year was the first time we had put on the event, and when I saw that Empowered Ideas had agreed, I was ecstatic. The next thing I knew, the site was up and looked perfect. James and Virginia created a site that conveyed our ideas, remained professional, and also let the TEDx brand shine through. The site was up in less than 48 hours, and they’d already thought to include our social media sites and the extra tabs we would need. I can’t imagine asking someone else to help us with the site now, and I hope to see a long-term relationship form between TEDx Meredith College and Empowered Ideas!” — Kristen Gallagher, TEDx Meredith College Lead Organizer
