We can’t wait for you to be part of TEDxSPJainSydney on 9th April 2022!

As humans, we find ourselves at crossroads to make the right, ethical, and socially responsible decisions. We have been through highs and lows over the year given the pandemic. In the space between change, we welcome new ideas worth spreading that stimulate our existence as we transition through different walks of life.

And so we thought it appropriate to talk about "Standing on a turning Point" through our event!

In every subject, decision or thought. If you think about it, time itself is a constant turning point and all of us are always standing on it. The question is which turn do we take? How do we decide? And the most intense question of all, how do we know that we are standing on a turning point? So this edition, we look forward to speakers from an international community with backgrounds in Humanities, Neuroscience, Business, Sports, and Social Entrepreneurship.

Our team comprises of undergrad and postgraduate business students from SP Jain School of Global Management Sydney campus who are striving to create an atmosphere, albeit virtually, where we come together from diverse communities, cultures, backgrounds, beliefs, interests, and talents to discuss ideas built upon the fundamental thread that ties humanity together: curiosity.

This is what separates him from the rest of us: his courage to be himself without fear of being judged. His interests are as quirk as he himself, from trying out different flavours of kombuchas to practising Tai Chi (Chinese martial arts). However, what defines him is his perspective, which has a childlike simplicity to it, something the world absolutely requires at this time.
