Theme: It's colorful this year

TEDxGCULahore has been sharing ideas worth spreading since 2018. This year will host our third event and we are determined to once again create larger-than-life experiences for everyone involved in the journey. Our theme "It's colorful this year" metaphorizes the abundance of ideas found around us. There’s a huge number of colors and countless shades in nature. Each color, each shade represents different ideas that are bubbling up in the minds of our unsung heroes, whose ingenuity we’re committed to celebrate. We believe their ideas have the potential to change the world for good, to spark conversations and to inspire.
