Innovation In Ideas

Took placeJune 14, 201510:00 AM - 3:00 PM (GMT+5:30)
LocationVADODARA, Gujarat, India
FormatUniversity
“A good Idea can spark a revolution but a good Idea fused with an ingenious Innovation can flare a colossal revolution” An idea not coupled with Innovation will never get any bigger than the brain cell it occupied. And hence the theme for our very first TEDxMaharajaSayajiraoUniversity is “INNOVATION IN IDEAS”-a carnival of brilliant minds brainstorming ideas coupled with dynamic innovations. One of the only ways to get out of a tight box is to innovate your way out. For good ideas and true innovation, you need human interaction, conflict, argument, debate. At TEDxMaharajaSayajiraoUniversity, we shall endeavour to impart the audience with the most scintillating and ingenious innovative ideas that can be cultivated. As a student confined only to the world of books and rote learning, hosting a TEDx event would open the gates to a vast media of interaction with the learned personalities of the world and to get to know about their lives, work and what made them what they are in today's competitive world. We aspire to have students , professors , researchers from the University as the targeted audience.
