Theme: The Precipice

Precipice - a small word which holds multiple meanings in different spheres of our life. For mountaineers, it's the place from where they can taste the success of their hard work as they enjoy the world stretching itself towards the horizon. For an entrepreneur, it may mean a benchmark the he/she needs to cross to set new records. For lawmakers, it may mean a gap between two ethnic groups which needs to be filled up by creating a feeling of communal harmony.

A Precipice is a place meant for free-thinkers. A place to set your mind free and open up to opportunities without any fear of failure. With hope and optimism, we stand at the Precipice, ready to make this event a memorable one.
