Our Legacy

In the meeting room of our minds, home to the likes of WHAT, HOW, and WHERE that dictate our daily routine, at the short end of the table, sits WHY. Keeping to itself in the small matters, it is there the answer a bigger question and when your Why answers, that’s when the real quest to the goal starts. Through the series of questions that originate from it, why translates our conscious and subconscious aspirations into actions and dictates our direction of movement in a world which has numerous paths to offer. To comprehend the effect of “Why” in full effect, let’s look back to the Battle of Thermopylae. The battle between the king of kings, Xerxes I, and King Leonidas of Sparta shows what Why does. 7000 Greeks were no match for the Persian army of 200,000, yet they made a last stand that is remembered even after 2500 years. The courage and patriotism seemed to overcome the numerical disadvantage. It was their Why: defend the motherland and families at all costs, that gave them this direction and power. This year’s TEDx is dedicated to connecting you to your why. Realizing your why and committing to it brings you closer to the journey to greatness. It aids you in withstanding the tiring paths, the thorny ways, and the troublesome tracks. It motivates your soul and polishes your personality. It makes you what you were born to be! So join us and learn the WHYs behind who aimed and flew high. Together this TEDx lets find out WHAT’S YOUR WHY

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).

There seem to be very fine lines between the good and the bad. A lot of the problems today seem to be because of the collective moral, social, and mental dead-end that humanity seems to have reached.
This year, the theme for TEDxPIEAS is Fine Lines. It depicts exactness and accuracy, perfect comparisons and differences. It is simplicity, and it is multi-faceted depth. It can be defined in many ways and as many things, and hence, it depicts the versatility of the talks Team TEDxPIEAS is working hard to showcase.

TEDxPIEAS is an initiative to encourage visionary and creative thought process in our local community. TEDxPIEAS aims to create awareness among the people and initiate thought provoking dialogue by welcoming an audience of Thinkers who want to be Doers.
Our theme ‘Challenging Tomorrow’ urges bright minds to construct and build a better future through realization of the power of one’s self. We must be able to rise to whatever challenge the future might hold; as a generation, as a nation, and as the human race.
