“Creative thinking inspires ideas. Ideas inspire change” - Barbara Januszkiewicz. TED is a nonprofit media organization devoted to spreading ideas. It is a global community, welcoming people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world. The power of ideas can change attitudes, lives and ultimately the world. Starting in 1984, TED Talks continue to be watched around the world, with an average of 17 new page views a second. TED conferences and events continue to inspire, motivate and thrill attendees.
TEDx are independent TED-like events, which can be organized by any inspiring and enthusiastic organizers with a license from TED. TEDx was created in the spirit of TED's mission, 'ideas worth spreading'. It supports independent organizers who want to create a TED-like event in their own community. It is designed to help communities, organizations and individuals to spark conversation and connection through local TED-like experiences. Here a screening of TED Talks videos — or a combination of live presenters and TED Talks videos — sparks deep conversation and connections at the local level. TEDx has reached a checkpoint of 100,000 talks recently.
TEDxAJCE is an independently organized TEDx conference which seeks to create the TED experience at Amal Jyothi College Of Engineering,Kanjirapally. We provide a platform where speakers can trigger a spark to the community through their words. TEDxAJCE will have experienced speakers who can share their story of success and failures which can inspire many people, for their successes. We have an amazing audience which includes enthusiastic students, professionals and the Kanjirapally community. Our aim is to reach out to the maximum and share some ideas which are worth spreading.

Jigsaw -
Everything Connects.
It's always the small pieces that make the big picture. Our perspectives, and their differences, make for an interesting array of solutions. It might not be realized at first with a number of seemingly unrelated pieces, but they are all interconnected. Sometimes, the big picture means looking small, finding all the pieces, and understanding that there is more to come. We ourselves can be the individual piece that completes someone else's picture. No puzzle is unsolvable, each problem has its own unique solution. The differences will determine the similarities, the similarities the connections. Everything connects.
