From an Aug. 10 announcement:
Three TEDx events were recently announced for the 2011 season, with TEDxAsheville 2011 happening in fall rather than summer, on Nov. 13, at the Diana Wortham Theatre.

TEDxAsheville 2011 and a new science event, TEDxKatuah, are both modeled on the global TED conference devoted to showcasing great ideas, performances and technology. Both seek thinkers, dreamers, scientists, entrepreneurs and activists of all ages to support this local platform for sharing great ideas, join the organizing team and share their own great ideas and nominations for 2011. And new to this season are weekly TEDxAsheville Salon events, most Thursdays at Posana in downtown Asheville.
 
The 2011 season of events:
 
TEDxAsheville 2011 Volunteer Open House
The TEDxAsheville team celebrates the announcement of the 2011 date with a volunteer open house at Posana Cafe on Aug. 18, from 5-7 PM. Everyone is invited who is interested in participating in any way, from volunteering to making a nomination for the 2011 stage, to simply finding out about future events and helping spread the word.All-ages volunteer opportunities include volunteer coordinator, stage director, sponsorship coordinator, graphic designers, video editor(s), engaging activities coordinator and more. Anyone with an interest in TED, TEDx, great ideas and showcasing Asheville talent to a global stage is encouraged to attend.
 
TEDxAshevilleSalons
Most Thursdays, 5 PM-6:30 PM
Posana Cafe, Asheville, NC
The TEDxAshevilleSalons are designed to bring TEDsters together on a weekly basis to watch great TED talks followed by an open dialog. These events create opportunities for TEDsters to connect with one another throughout the year and will run most every Thursday through November 17th.
 
TEDxKatuah, a new all-ages event celebrating the wonder of science
November 5, 2011
Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute, Rosman, NC
TEDxKatuah’s goal is to bring people together at the intersection of science, art and other disciplines to play with the questions, "What is science?" and “What is your story of discovery?” In an attempt to expand perceptions and dissolve barriers, TEDxKatuah is an opportunity for people to interact with and experience science in more intuitive and playful ways. Speakers and attendees will exchange ideas, visions and passions that can be carried back into communities to spark positive change.
 
TEDxAsheville 2011, main-stage event
November 13, 2011
