In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations).

The theme for TEDxGLIMChennai 2018 is "Be". BE is a pool of all possibilities. It gives you the power to BE anything whether it is what others expect of you or what you expect from yourself. It could represent the present, the current state of BE-ing. It could represent the future, a motivation to BE something. It is the whole sum of everything humanly possible.
