About TEDxGateway:

TEDxGateway is an independently organized TED event operated under license from TED. At the day long conference it will feature eminent speakers from different walks of life who will share unique ideas from India and all around the globe – ideas which will spark deep discussion and introspection among the group that attends, those viewing live from across the world, and those who view the talks after the event is over. It seeks to enlighten, unite and provoke. After the tremendous success of the 2010 and 2011 editions, comes a bigger and better edition this year.

About TED:

TED is a nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader. The annual TED conferences, in Long Beach/Palm Springs and Edinburgh, bring together the world's most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes or less). http://www.ted.com/
