TEDxGateway is an independently organized TED event operated under license from TED. At the daylong conference we will feature eminent speakers from different walks of life 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. We seek to enlighten, unite and provoke. After the tremendous success of the 2010, 2011 and 2012 editions, comes a bigger and better edition this year.


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. Along with two annual conferences — the TED Conference in Long Beach and Palm Springs each spring, and the TEDGlobal conference in Edinburgh UK each summer — TED includes the award-winning TEDTalks video site, the Open Translation Project and TED Conversations, the inspiring TED Fellows and TEDx programs, and the annual TED Prize.
