In February of 2014, TEDxMcMasterU will be hosted at the McMaster Innovation Park in Hamilton, Ontario with the theme of “Luck, when Preparation Meets Opportunity”. The TEDxMcMasterU team approached the conference with the mindset to expose students to their passion and potential, with the conference as a vehicle to drive their passion into opportunities. Luck is an abstract idea that is believed to occur beyond one’s control. Our theme focuses on this intangible phenomenon, the aspects that which we can control and how our experiences and beliefs shape the way we perceive luck. By addressing the importance of preparation and making use of the opportunities that we are exposed to daily, we hope to facilitate discourse and spread these ideas.
