Theme: Connecting Dots

The theme “Connecting Dots” focuses on exploring how different ideas, experiences, and perspectives interlink to create meaningful narratives, innovations, or solutions. It encourages speakers to reflect on pivotal moments, decisions, or insights that have shaped their journeys or the larger world.
The overarching message of this theme is that our lives are a series of interconnected experiences, and while we may not always understand how the pieces fit together in the moment, they often do in retrospect. Whether it's finding purpose through diverse experiences, recognizing the role of serendipity, or overcoming challenges, connecting the dots is a process of personal discovery. This theme allows speakers to share their unique journeys, inspiring others to reflect on their own lives and appreciate the hidden connections that shape who they are today. By showcasing stories of growth, resilience, and transformation, the TEDxIFHE event can inspire the audience to embrace their own winding paths, trusting that the dots will connect in meaningful ways over time.
