Bangalore, Karnataka, February 1st, 2014:[/b] Technology. Entertainment. Design. Red and Black. This in itself defines the essence of our most coveted event TEDx, an independently organised TED event. The students of Symbiosis Institute of Business Management, Bengaluru (SIBM Bengaluru) are highly enthusiastic with the event coming up on 8th February, 2014.
The Outdoor Marketing team of TEDxSIBMBangalore which consisted of about 30 volunteers, carried out a “TEDx walk†in Electronic City, Phase-I. The volunteers covered a distance of about 4 km in a duration of one and a half hours. The students were in a dress code of Red & Black and had worn masks which garnered a lot of attention from the people in the area. The walk was organised with an intention of spreading the word about the event.
Nishu Dikshit[/i], Student Vice-President of SIBM Bangalore says, “The response to the walk was absolutely great with many people stopping the volunteers to enquire about the event. It was a unique initiative as it was a silent walk and just the way the volunteers were dressed got all the attention during rush hours.â€
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, videos and live speakers combine to spark deep discussions and connections 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)
