Theme: Expansive Communion

The theme for TEDxIMTGhaziabad 2025 encapsulates the profound impact of individuals who, by delving into their inner selves, catalyze transformative ideas that ultimately edify society. This expansive and visionary approach transcends boundaries, sparking positive change through ideas that originate from individuals and radiate outward, enriching their fraternity. When a thought ignites in one's mind, it grows and connects with others, creating a reimagined, united world. Free from rigid constraints, a visionary challenges old beliefs, revealing the harmony of the universe's movement. Motivated by a strong sense of justice, a pioneering woman inspires her community to break the chains of inequality, bringing light to the darkest parts of history.

This blend of personal creativity and shared progress, where individual visions come together to uplift the whole, captures the spirit of TEDxIMTGhaziabad 2025.
