A Kaleidoscope of breakthrough ideas - INK announces INK Conference 2016

Chandigarh, July 27, 2016: The INK Conference has, over the years, carved a niche for itself and made its way on to the must-attend list in highly sought after calendars. This year is no different. This is a conference where there the audience are as powerful as the speakers and each of them is curated with utmost care. More than 500 influential thought leaders, artists and innovators from around the world will come together to share their stories, thought provoking ideas and life changing insights. 

The theme at INK2016, is Kaleidoscope. It lends itself to the fusion of exponential conversations that will take place at the conference, to the multitude of cultures that will come together as well as the splendor Goa has to offer. 
 Surrounded by unexpected, striking combinations of aspiration across disciplines like creativity, health, science, invention, robotics, and energy, one has the opportunity to turn their imagination to impact.  
 Like the seemingly fragmented pieces of a Kaleidoscope that symmetrically come together to create a unique visual treat, this year’s conference unifies a multitude of thoughts and ideas, to create something beautiful - something unique.

The 7th edition of the conference will be held at the Grand Hyatt, Goa from 16th – 18th September. An incredible line-up of speakers will share insights on topics ranging from innovations in education to health to technology and the arts. Notable speakers at this year’s conference include entrepreneur and Chairman of the Bitcoin Foundation Brock Pierce; distinguished educator and producer of Mythbusters’ Adam Savage; venture philanthropist and former Chairman of Microsoft India Ravi Venkatesan, American paleontologist and geologist Kenneth Lacovara singer and songwriter Jill Sobule, and a host of other gifted individuals. The game changers attending the conference will also have an opportunity to network post-event amongst one another.

Commenting on this year’s theme, Lakshmi Pratury, Host and Curator of the INK Conference, said “INK shares a lot in common with the kaleidoscope. When unchecked imagination meets creative ability, the output is what causes future innovation.  I believe in the sheer magic that this diverse set of INK community creates year after year, writing our future together. It is always refreshing that just like the Kaleidoscope, every person who is part of the conference comes with a unique talent and leaves creating collective impact reshaping the world as we know it.” 

For the fifth year running, INK will expand the INK experience to students and young professionals.  INK is partnering with Goa Institute of Management to gather over 500 young people to participate in a variety of workshops and interactive experiences while they watch a live stream of the INK Conference. Many of the esteemed attendees and speakers from the conference will join the youth in person to share their perspectives.
