Dear Esteemed Guests, Innovators, and Changemakers,
It is with great enthusiasm that we welcome you to TEDxJSSMC
2024, a celebration of ideas, creativity, and the extraordinary
potential of human connection.
The journey to bring this event to life has been one of unwavering
dedication, thoughtful collaboration, and boundless inspiration. Our
theme, “The Ripple Effect,” captures the profound impact that even
the smallest actions can have in sparking waves of change. Today’s
speakers, performers, and conversations exemplify this transformative
power and the courage to share ideas that inspire.
This platform is not just a stage—it is a convergence of thoughts, a
spark for connections, and a canvas for collective imagination. It is an
invitation to explore new perspectives, challenge conventional
thinking, and embrace the possibilities of change. We hope these
ripples of inspiration will empower each of you to create meaningful
impact in your own unique way.
We encourage you to immerse yourself in every moment—listen
deeply, engage wholeheartedly, and contribute to an atmosphere
where curiosity thrives, creativity flourishes, and ideas transcend
boundaries.
Thank you for being part of this remarkable journey. Together, let us
create a legacy of change, one ripple at a time.
With anticipation and gratitude,
The Organizing Team

About TEDx
TEDx is a grassroots initiative, created in the spirit of
TED’s overall mission to research and discover “ideas
worth spreading.” TEDx brings the spirit of TED to
local communities around the globe through TEDx
events. These events are organized by passionate
individuals who seek to uncover new ideas and to share the
latest research in their local areas that spark conversations
in their communities. TEDx events include live speakers
and recorded TED Talks, and are organized
independently under a free license granted by TED.
These events are not controlled by TED, but event
organizers agree to abide by our format, and are offered
guidelines for curation, speaker coaching, event
organizing and more. They learn from us and from each
other.
The Ripple Effect
The ripple effect is the concept that a single action or
decision can set off a chain of consequences, spreading
outward to impact people and situations beyond the
immediate moment. A phenomenon, both subtle and
potent, carries within it the weight of unknown
consequences.
It reveals how interconnected forces shape outcomes, with
each motion stirring new movements, subtly shifting
elements across a broader landscape.
This power to unknowingly shape the world is both divine
and dangerous.
Perhaps, then, we ought to live with grace, mindful that
our ripples will one day return, echoing all we’ve set in
motion.
