Theme: Infinitism : Reel to Real I Disconnect to Connect

“No army can withstand the strength of an idea whose time has come.”― Victor Hugo

The theme for TEDxKGInstitutions 2023 is Infinitism: Reel to Real - Disconnect to connect, a powerful concept that encourages us to explore and surpass the limits we perceive in ourselves and the world around us. It invites us to embrace our curiosity, to question the status quo, and to pursue our dreams with courage and determination. Infinitism represents a vision of a future where anything is possible, where we can overcome our limitations and unlock our full potential as human beings. TEDxKGInstitutions enable us to showcase a diverse range of ideas. The theme further amplifies the potential of Infinitism and emphasise the importance of exploring different aspects of the human experience, Existence and the power of Innovation from different paths.
