'Two roads diverged in a wood and I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference'. Inspired by the words of Robert Frost, TEDxSPJainDubai is themed, 'UNPRECEDENTED' - as it looks for ideas that break the chains of casual conventionality, shatter the grimy pane of old age wisdom and dismantle expectations brick by brick. Join us as we hope to inspire you to take the road not taken, do the unexpected to create a positive impact by being unprecedented. Email us at tedxdubai@spjain.org
