It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader. Along with two annual conferences - the TED Conference in Long Beach and Palm Springs each spring, and the TED Global conference in Edinburgh UK each summer - TED includes the award-winning TED Talks video site, the Open Translation P
roject and TED Conversations, the inspiring TED Fellows and TEDx programs, and the annual TED Prize. 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. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.) TEDxIIMAhmedabad
TEDxIIMAhmedabad is being organized independently by IIM Ahmedabad. We believe ideas have the power to change attitudes, lives and ultimately, the world. In line with the spirit of TED conferences held world over, we aim to provide a platform that brings together people from all walks of life under one roof.
