About the Event
TED
Ideas change us. They slip into our minds, challenge what we know, and reshape how we see the world. TED exists for this very reason – to give ideas a stage, to turn the sudden thoughts into conversations that matter. Founded in 1984 as a one-off conference bringing together thinkers in technology, entertainment, and design, TED has evolved into a global movement, hosting over 100 conferences worldwide. What began as a gathering of innovators in technology, entertainment, and design has transformed into a global platform, uniting diverse voices and disciplines to spark change and inspire progress.
TEDx
TEDx is a program of locally organized events that bring people together to share ideas in a TED-like experience. Under the guidance of TED, these independent events combine live speakers, recorded TED Talks, and interactive discussions to inspire and inform. TEDx events uphold TED’s mission of spreading ideas that matter, creating a platform for deep conversations, learning, and collaboration within communities worldwide. Each TEDx event is independently organized but adheres to strict TED guidelines, ensuring high-quality content and meaningful engagement. TEDx events bridge diverse perspectives and amplify voices that challenge, inspire, and transform.
TEDxSoIM
TEDxSOIM — an independently organized and TED-licensed event, driven by SoIM’s vision to innovate, include, and inspire. A space where ideas ignite, voices connect, and transformations begin. At TEDxSOIM, we’re here to spark inspiration, empower minds, and celebrate the spirit of change. Our platform brings together thought leaders, changemakers, dreamers, and doers — all united by a shared belief in the power of ideas worth spreading. Through a series of impactful talks, performances, and experiences, TEDxSOIM aims to challenge perspectives, fuel creativity, and build a community that thrives on curiosity and growth. From technology and innovation to art, culture, and human connection — every story shared at TEDxSOIM becomes a catalyst for change.
This isn’t just an event.
It’s a mindset shift.
It’s where possibilities begin.
THEME
Ctrl + Shift + Redefine — In a world that’s constantly evolving, we often need to pause, take control, and rethink our path. This theme embodies the courage to take control of our choices, shift our perspectives, and redefine who we are and what we stand for. It celebrates reinvention, resilience, and the power to evolve beyond limitations, challenge conventions, and create new meanings out of change.
At TEDxSoIM 2025, we unite voices that inspire transformation — individuals who have dared to control their narrative, shift directions fearlessly, and redefine possibilities for themselves and others. Because true growth begins the moment we stop repeating what’s comfortable and start redefining what’s possible.
