TEDx MGMU Presents
DoTs : Collecting & Connecting
"Mission accomplished: A successful event of TEDxMGMU 2023 that exceeded all expectations!"
Dots: Collecting and Connecting serves as a metaphor for the interconnections and experiences in our lives. We constantly encounter dots of different colors and must choose which ones to connect with. These connections shape and impact our lives in profound ways.
Specially, we gain insights into the importance of each event whether it be success or failure, good times or hardships, and that at the end of the day, it is we who have gained them and created a beautiful life journey by connecting them. Join us at TEDxMGMU as we dive into the world of Dots and learn how to cultivate and strengthen the connections that matter most to us.
TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Started as a four-day conference in California 30 years ago, TED has grown to support its mission with multiple initiatives. The two annual TED Conferences invite the world's leading thinkers and doers to speak for 18 minutes or less. Many of these talks are then made available, free, at TED.com. TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Nandan Nilekani, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Sal Khan and Daniel Kahneman.
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.
