Dream Dare Do


All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.
                                                                                - Walt Disney

From the Wright brothers who got it right, to Neil Armstrong who went on strong, every person who've made it big in life, Had a dream, when the elder of the Wright brothers dreamt that he could be a bird one day the entire world was against him, but when he dared to do ....


Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.
                                                                             
                                                                             - Robert Kennedy


There was the fantasy of many come true, those twelve seconds when the dream flew into realisation redefined the approach to physics, and the world said...


The Wright brothers flew right through the smokescreen of 


impossibility.                                                   - Charles Kettering

TEDxSAIRAM
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.
TEDxSairam is stepping into its third year. The previous events in 2012 and 2013 have been hugely successful and we have been obliged to have many prominent people sharing their ideas with us. Check out our website of the previous event at www.tedxsairam.com/
