TEDxMICA International Conference 2011[/b]
TEDxMICA shares the same passion as TED. Spreading Ideas. Our mission is to inspire minds and spark discussions and introspections among the people at large. We seek to invest in ideas and unravel a whole new world of possibilities.
TEDxMICA is the first TEDx event conducted by any Management School in India.
Theme: Communication Unplugged
“Why silence when we can speak up!
Why suffer when we can give and get help!
Why sad when we can cheer up!
Why hate when we can love!
Why idle when we can participate!
Why confine when we can share!”
Come let’s do what we can. Let’s communicate, share and engage with the world's most potent instrument: Ideas!!!
TEDxMICA's theme 'Communication Unplugged' finds resonance with the need to unplug the nuances, the possibilities of engaging with the powerful force of ideas.

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, TED Talks 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.
