Theme: Beyond Binary

“x = independently organized TED event”
We operate in a world shaded in black and white, dictated by right and wrong: a world of binary. TEDx: Beyond Binary seeks to explore the eccentric ideas that live in the space outside the constraints of convention. Through exposing ourselves to stories from distinctly different walks of life, we expand our horizons and gain novel perspectives.

This year’s theme is one we consider to branch even outside the constraints of the event, for it is a principle in itself. Our lives, shrouded by the limitations of conventions, bounds our artistry and ideas, and grounds our mindsets to operate idly.
As a part of TEDx, one of our event’s core values is to seek and explore, to hunt for the knowledge we’ve been restricted to unearth. Beyond Binary reiterates this very value, so come and join us as we delve into the space of innovation.
