Ideas worth spreading!

IDEASBRIDGE is inspired by TED which stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design – whichstarted out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from those three worlds. Since then its scope has become ever broader.

Though our format is adopted largely from TED and our hope is to one day be an important part of the pool of ideas in the world – we are prepared to impact our world one forum at a time, one city at a time.

The goal of the forum is to celebrate God’s gift of ideas and to foster the spread of great ideas.

It aims to provide a platform for the smart thinkers, great visionaries and inspired teachers, so that millions of people can gain a better understanding of the biggest issues faced by the world, and a desire to help create a better future.

Core to this goal is a belief that there is no greater force for changing the world than a powerful idea. Consider:

• An idea can be created out of nothing except an inspired imagination.
• An idea weighs nothing.
• It can be transferred across the world at the speed of light for virtually zero cost.
• And yet an idea, when received by a prepared mind, can have extraordinary impact.
• It can reshape that mind's view of the world.
• It can dramatically alter the behavior of the mind's owner.
• It can cause the mind to pass on the idea to others.

Many factors can amplify the power of ideas: mass media, technology and market forces, to name three.
