The conference will be held in St. Xavier’s College, Mumbai on February 8th, 2015 from 9 am to 5 pm. TEDxStXaviersMumbai aims to build an atmosphere where ideas can be created, shared and discussed. Our speakers will be covering a broad spectrum of fields, including Physics, Biology, Economics, Psychology, social stigma, entrepreneurship, and performing arts. Head Organiser Nimit Parikh said, “I believe that TEDxStXaviersMumbai is so much more than just another college event. As an organisation, we really want to be able to inspire our community by exposing them to some fantastic people and ideas.”

This is the first time St. Xavier’s College, Mumbai is hosting a TEDx conference with a hope to start a tradition of TEDx conferences in the college and provide students and professors with a platform to voice their views, share ideas, and bring change to not only their immediate surroundings, but also to the world at large.

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. 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)
