About TEDx
(x = independently organized event)
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. The TEDx Program is designed to help communities, organizations, and individuals to spark conversation and connection through local TED-like experiences. At TEDx events, a screening of TED Talks videos — or a combination of live presenters and TED Talks videos — sparks deep conversation and connections at the local level. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. TEDx events are planned and coordinated independently, under a license granted by TED.

I can watch the talks on YouTube, why do I need to attend your event:
Yes you can watch the talks on YouTube once they are uploaded in 2 to 3 weeks time. However, you will not be able to experience, engage, interact, and network while watching the recording.

Our theme in 2019 was The IF in Life.
We were very fortunate to have speakers from various walks of life but with one common factor. They all had various IFs in their life and they conquered it with their belief, commitment, focus, passion and perseverance. Our 11 speakers were from 11 different fields and no two-speaker was the same in terms of their journey, expertise, or narrative. We had speakers from Armed forces, Social change-maker, Entertainment industry, Sports, Storytellers, Innovators, Education, and Corporate Coach. The attendees loved the talks of all the speakers and the perspective they shared about their IFs in Life. A great start to our event.
