TEDxIIT Delivered Gaining Momentum

TEDxIIT did it.

What an awesome event on Sat, April 13, 2012. Amazing speakers shared ideas worth spreading. Devoted committee chairs demonstrated great leadership skills. Generous volunteers helped whatever it took. The fabulous live audience applauded with standing ovation, along with the virtual audience worldwide cheered all the way. And the social media fans twitted and re-twitted #TEDxIIT. 

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

In the spirit of TED and IIT, many voices, one conversation. We played, laughed, learned, shared and connected. 

The speakers were: Tanya Cabera (staff), Marc Hans (alum), Muhammed Fazeel (student at large), Leo Xiangyu Liu (student), Joseph Claie (alum), Nityananda Pran Das, (community member), Daniya Kamran, (student), James H. Stone (faculty), Debbie Vyskocil (alum), Onye Ozuzu (guest-lecturer) and Tom Tresser (faculty). The spectrum ranged from young students to seasoned business leader, all with ideas to share. More on TEDxIIT.com.

They brought us with diverse experience and ethnic background. Same demographic applied to the attendees: students, alumni, members of faculty, staff and community. There were ideas for our mind, body and soul. Issues covering the immigration, education, innovation, creativity, energy and community. 

Their ideas are gaining momentum.

TEDxIIT is also gaining momentum.
