About Event

Amidst the storm of foreboding headlines, TEDxNapierBridge sets its sights firmly on the incredible ideas and accomplishments that are all around us. We need to only say “Please Turn Over” because India is in the midst of a global remaking.

Disciplines merge and cross-pollinate. Power and authority are redistributed. Boundaries shift or disappear. Hopes and anxieties collide. Dream and day unite. A new world is emerging at the intersection of once-separated realities.

Welcome to TEDxNapierBridge 2018 where we will seek to challenge and reshape our core beliefs about today's reality through thinkers, dreamers, and mavericks who offer bold new perspectives.

We believe that ideas get traction only when communities and families are personally involved and ideas are made real and accessible. That is why we invite you to the famous Egmore Museum Theatre on September 16 to access the people and ideas that make Chennai so dynamic. You are inviTED!

-------------------------------------------------------------

For those who have attended previous TEDxNapierBridge events, you will know that the moments outside of the talks are just as impactful - a time to share ideas and our curated experiences with a like-minded community. A wonderful opportunity to connect with people who share your passions.

Join us for what is certain to be a thought-provoking experience. We hope this will be the start of something special. Our intention is that the entire experience will inspire change and growth, for you to take back into your lives and communities. Join us in amplifying the ideas worth sharing.

About TED

TED is a non-profit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or fewer) delivered by today's leading thinkers and doers. Many of these talks are given at TED's annual conference in Vancouver, British Columbia, and made available, free, on TED.com. TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Nandan Nilekani, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Sal Khan and Daniel Kahneman.

TED's open and free initiatives for spreading ideas include TED.com, where new TED Talk videos are posted daily; the Open Translation Project, which provides subtitles and interactive transcripts as well as translations from thousands of volunteers worldwide; the educational initiative TED-Ed; the annual million-dollar Prize, which funds exceptional individuals with a "wish," or idea, to create change in the world; TEDx, which provides licenses to thousands of individuals and groups who host local, self-organized TED-style events around the world; and the TED Fellows program, which selects innovators from around the globe to amplify the impact of their remarkable projects and activities.

About TEDx

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, TED Talks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection. 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.
