What is TED?

TED is a non-profit organization with the spirit of promoting ideas that deserve to be scattered. Beginning with a four-day conference in California 26 years ago, TED has grown to support ideas that change the world through multiple initiatives. At TED, thinkers and filmmakers around the world are invited to give the best speech of their lives in 18 minutes. These presentations are made available for free on the TED.com website.

What is TEDx?

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 — spark deep conversation and connections at the local level. TEDx events are planned and coordinated independently, under a free licence granted by TED.

Discover Rediscover 2022

From one moment to another, memory steps back to rediscover the past and comprehend the meaning or define its true colors. If we are to go forward, we must go back to discover and rediscover certain elements that hinge on our foundations. Our theme hence, brings light on the need to explore and discuss ideas from different and novel perspectives. TEDxSJCETPalai is also about a gentle reminder; to always rediscover one another because we are forever changing.

Ellipsis 2018

Ellipsis is used to define an unfinished thought about an object or a person, or a certain idea about either of them. It pushes us to concentrate deeply on our unfinished thoughts and take required actions to obtain a fruitful outcome.

Connecting people to reflect and transform each other is one of the great purposes of this first edition of TEDxSJCETPalai.

TEDxSJCETPalai will be a celebration of individuality. We hope to bring together some of the most distinguished individuals from our local community to share, inspire and demonstrate the power of original ideas. We want each person to walk out with an unforgettable experience and undying urge to bring out the spark of originality that lies within each one of us.
