TEDxHyderabad 2019 – Limitless

Time may be limited, but opportunities are limitless. Capacity may be limited, but potential is limitless. Intelligence may be limited, but wisdom is limitless. Reality may be limited, but imagination is limitless. Years in life may be limited, but life is the years is limitless.

The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible.” – Arthur C Clarke

The time may be limited, but the opportunities are limitless.
The capacity may be limited, but the potential is limitless.
The intelligence may be limited, but the wisdom is limitless.
The reality may be limited, but the imagination is limitless.
The years in life may be limited, but the life is the years is limitless.

Right from being taught to draw inside the lines to follow the societal norms and expectations, we tie ourselves down inside the limits. But have you ever wondered what would Limitless look like to you? It’s time to win over yourself in this game of limits. Challenge the norms, follow your passion, imagine the (im)possibilities, and then go, get them. If you think you can, you CAN.

We invite curious and questioning minds to join us in the amazing journey of exploration of defying limits.

On September 22, 2019 – join us for a full day of brilliant speakers, mind-blowing conversations, thought-provoking videos and fabulous networking opportunities!

What is TEDxHyderabad?

TED is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less). TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics β€” from science to business to global issues β€” in more than 100 languages. TEDx is an independently organized licensed TED event. TEDxHyderabad has quickly grown to become one of the leading TEDx events in the country. TEDxHyderabad was be selected for an Anchor program by TED and mentioned in the opening statement of the TED Summit, at Banff this year as one of the most innovative events, globally. Speakers/performers both Indian and International representing diverse backgrounds, are invited to share their stories and ideas with you. TEDxHyderabad is a not for profit event and attendees can join only after undergoing the process of curation. This is a ticketed event.

To volunteer at TEDxHyderabad, you must be part of our community. You should have attended one speaker event to understand how and what we do. We only choose volunteers from our local community. We open up volunteering slots once a year, in January. You can apply then, mentioning which specific skill set you possess. If shortlisted, you will have to go through a couple of rounds of interviews with the team. You will also be expected to devote 6-8 hours every week on normal days and 10-12 hours a week closer to the event. Attendance at team meetings are mandatory and failure to attend 3 or more team meetings will call for termination of your volunteer contract. Volunteers at TEDxHyderabad have to undergo the same curation process that attendees have to go through and also need to buy their tickets.

Our attempt is to design an experience for you and not an event. We try and ensure that you not only watch inspiring talks on stage, there is entertainment, social spaces, tea, lunch etc. Apart from that our event has free seating and we do not differentiate between audience members. Everyone is an esteemed attendee, irrespective of their job title, financial standing or place in society. So who knows – you may be sitting next to your next employer/employee, investor, best friend or simply someone who awes and inspires you. This is a fabulous chance for individuals to network with like-minded people and an amazing opportunity to be part of a community of Thinkers, Enablers and Doers. All of this in just one day and at such little cost? Think about it!
