TEDx FAST 3.59

About TED:
TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Started as a four-day conference in California 30 years ago, TED has grown to support its mission with multiple initiatives. The two annual TED Conferences invite the world's leading thinkers and doers to speak for 18 minutes or less. Many of these talks are then made available, free, at TED.com. TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Nandan Nilekani, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Sal Khan and Daniel Kahneman.
The annual TED Conference takes place each spring in Vancouver, British Columbia. TED's media initiatives include TED.com, where new TED Talks are posted daily; the Open Translation Project, which provides subtitles and interactive transcripts as well as translations from volunteers worldwide; the educational initiative TED-Ed. TED has established the annual TED Prize, where exceptional individuals with a wish to change the world get help translating their wishes into action; TEDx, which supports individuals or groups in hosting local, self- organized TED-style events around the world, and the TED Fellows program, helping world-changing innovators from around the globe to amplify the impact of their remarkable projects and activities.

About TEDx:
A TEDx event is a local gathering where live TED-like talks and videos previously recorded at TED conferences are shared with the community. TEDx events are fully planned and coordinated independently, on a community-by-community basis. The content and design of each TEDx event is unique and developed independently, but all of them have features in common.

Theme: Starting up the Right Way.
How you start something is equally important as how you end it. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Even after starting something in the most perfect way possible, we trip and fall countless times on the road to success. At moments like these, it’s important to remember to get up, brush the dust of ourselves and keep moving towards the finish line.
Our voyages are filled with lessons that can inspire, motivate and influence others. We learn as much from our failures, perhaps even more, as we do from our success. They can help inspire social change, eliminate the status quo, and even start popular revolutionary movements.
This year strap in, as TEDxFAST brings you an unforgettable event filled with tales of inspiration, dedication, belief and a pinch of good luck.
