We are creating a revolution.
A revolution in thought and opportunity.
The talks connect us to the speaker's experiences and journey as their fields have changed and evolved through time and ages. From the timeworn textile industries to contemporary entrepreneurship-they highlight the progress that we've all underwent, but failed to experience.
It's about creating a positive impact in the society and culture through a carnival of education, entertainment and technology.
