Program Special events
Immersive evening events, interactive lunches, intense conversation breaks … at TEDIndia, many of the most important ideas are generated when people connect with each other. We offer many ways to make sure they do.

TED University
Attendees at every TED are as extraordinary as the speakers. At TED University, they have their chance to take the stage and give their own short talks or performances. Past topics have ranged from "5 dangerous things you should let your kids do" to "How to grow your own fresh air" (from TED U 2009 speaker Kamal Meattle, above.)
