New TED video debuts in India with TEDxAVL footage

In Mysore at TEDIndia yesterday, Lara Stein of the TED conference debuted a new video from TED explaining the independently organized TEDx program. TED contacted us at TEDxAsheville for material last month, and the new TED video includes images, animation and footage from last summer's TEDxAsheville event at the Orange Peel.

So in TED's latest video just revealed to India and the world, check out Asheville's own:
