ATTENDEE ETIQUETTE

The TEDx experience is a unique one with the entire day designed with a thought behind the same. We are adding in some amazing useful tips and info for you to have the best experience at the event with your amazing co-attendees.

THE BADGE

The badge is probably the largest you would have ever worn. It is a very important component that allows you access to the event. Please DO NOT lose the badge and display it where required and when requested to the volunteers. The badge has 3 conversation starters which most of you have sent us! They are a great way to engage with your co-attendees at the event. We hope you have chosen them well! It can be collected from the venue after proper ID verification.

MOVEMENT

Movement of the attendees when the talks begin is NOT ALLOWED. We will be filming and people moving around is a distraction except the media team which has their set pattern. We urge you to respect this as not to cause undue inconvenience to your co-attendees. Please BE SEATED while the talks are going on and you can plan to move ONLY if required after the talk is done. We want you all to immerse in the journey of the speaker for 18 minutes!

CONVERSATIONS

Don’t be shy to say Hi! You will make some amazing friends and explore exciting collaborations moving forward. You can always practice to let someone know what you do in 2 sentences! Helps to also connect through the conversation starters. We have designed breaks to encourage the same. Start one, Join in, Facilitate cool conversations all through the day! Make sure you sit with SOMEONE you DON’T know!
