TedxBabsonCollege's theme is Disruption 360, and we have speakers from various paradigms to discuss and put together how our world as a whole is evolving today. Disruption could be incremental or monumental. We would like to investigate and explore the crossing of various worlds of Science, Technology, Art, Healthcare, Sports, Culture, Sustainability and Politics. Our aim is to broaden each others' spheres of understanding and shed light on innovations that are shaping our lives today.
"Artists push, shape, break; designers reinvent and overturn; scientists challenge, disprove and re-state; technologists hack and subvert to rebuild." - Unknown.
Tedx BabsonCollege aims to further the understand and implications of such disruptive ideas and thought processes to promote innovation in every field. As we get closer to the next revolution - the Digital one, we hope to contribute towards the preparation required to surf these changing tides.
As with TED, The Ideas will be the key!
