In five years, Southern Fried Supernova will be Atlantaʼs global signature event, featuring the best of the arts, technology, and startups.

This vision shouldnʼt surprise anyone. Weʼre just building on Atlantaʼs strengths and a long history of being bold.

When you consider this history and the five-year vision, our 2013 goals are quite humble: 1. Connect the Awesomeness 2. Galvanize a Commitment for the Future

Galvanize: Core Reaction/ResolutionOn October 17-18, 100 people with the proven ability to turn ideas into action will gather for Core Reaction, a two-day opportunity to build out ideas answering the question:

How do you want to see Atlanta to thrive, play, and grow?

More than a two-day event, Core Reaction is a

five month community collaboration

Phase I: Call for ParticipantsOn September 2, we launch a community-wide call for participants to attract innovators from various sectors and professions from across metropolitan Atlanta.

Phase II: Selection/Onboarding100 will be selected based on their proven ability to turn ideas into action, diversity of community and expertise, and willingness to roll up their sleeves. The first 50 will come from those applying by Monday, September 23 and the second 50 from applications received by Monday, October 7.

Phase III: Idea + Input CollectionOn September 30, Core Reactors will help promote the launch of CoreReaction.org, the online platform where anyone can add their ideas, everyone can contribute ways to improve them, and we can provide open, transparent communication of progress.

Ideas will also flow in through the TEDxCity2.0 and (co)lab Summit kicking off the Southern Fried Supernova.

Phase IV: Core Reaction LiveOn October 17-18, the 100 Core Reactors will gather at the Promenade to develop the most compelling ideas into viable projects that can be launched in 2014. Through rapid iteration cycles and participant voting, the three most compelling projects will be shared publicly as the Three Big Ideas.

Phase V: Big Ideas IncubationOn October 30, we'll form a Build Team for each of the Three Big Ideas, pulling together the Core Reactors who hatched it, community partners with resources, and individuals with needed skills & expertise.

Phase VI: Core ResolutionOn 1/14/14, we will gather for the Core Resolution, where the three Build Teams will present their progress and brief the community on when and how their idea will be fully implemented in 2014.
