“Explore, Reinvent & Innovate” – TEDxFCCollege

TED is a nonprofit organization which started as a four-day conference 25 years ago in California. A conference that has devoted itself, since, to spreading ideas, “believes passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and ultimately, the world (hence they) offer free knowledge and inspiration from the world’s most inspired thinkers, and also a community of curious souls to engage with ideas and each other.”

TED started a program of local, self organized events to provide a TED-like experience to all, called TEDx (where x = independently organized TED event). This program inspired the International Affairs Society (IAS) at the Forman Christian College (FCC) in Lahore to host their second TEDx event and provide a platform to share cultures and experiences among different individuals again.

The theme behind their event is “INNOVATION – Harnessing The Hidden Revolution.” They “strongly believe that innovation drives growth, resuscitate mature industries and opens up new opportunities for a better tomorrow.”

The TEDxFCCollege program comprises TED Talks videos and live speakers. They have invited speakers from all spheres of life and success: Mr. Ali Raza, Founder and Director of YES Network Pakistan; Mr. Amin Hashwani, President of the Charter for Compassion Pakistan; Ms. Mashal Peerzada a Screenwriter & Director; Mr. Muhammad Adeel, Corporate Communications Lead at InVitro Vogue; Mr. Najib Jutt, CEO/Principal of EnCorbus; Mr. Zeeshan Zafar Hashmi, Associate at Bhadari, Naqvi & Riaz and Ms. Zehra Ali, Founder & CEO of Ghonsia – a dynamic panel of speakers indeed.

So join the TEDxFCCollege Team at Armacost Building S-009,Forman Christian College on December 8th, 2012 from 3pm-7:30pm as they celebrate the harnessing of the hidden revolution.
