About Us
TEDxIITKanpur is an independently organized TEDx event hosted by the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur,
aiming to emulate the unique TED experience by bringing together leading thinkers and doers to share their
passions and ideas.
What is TED?
TED is a nonprofit organization 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 - from sciences to business to global issues - in more than 100
languages.
What is TEDx
In the spirit of discovering and spreading ideas, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of
local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called
TEDx[name], where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDx[name] event, TED Talks video and live
speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides
general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
