Its been a whacky, blurring week for the TEDxPilani team, what with #TEDxPilani trending on twitter India, and crazy ideas being implemented for the stage-setup.

The technical festival APOGEE 2010 has begun with a spectacular fireworks display and the campus is alive with students eager to flex their brain muscles over a plethora of events being presented during the 5-day phenomenon. The biggest buzz on campus by far has been about TEDxPilani. If you happen to stand at the Controlz Booth for a while, it becomes easy to notice the number of participants asking about how to go about attending the event.

We are recently interviewed by the English Press Club and the team enjoyed toying with rumours about a Rickshaw being placed in the stage-setup. Whether or not this is true, can be seen only 24 hours from now.

The live webcast of the event is drawing much attention from the twitter community and the team hopes to reach out to a large audience outside Pilani through this channel. Nikhil R and Trisha have been having tiring nights figuring out the different technical aspects in running a webcast. Dr. Rahul Banerjee’s support has been the guiding light to the team for this initiative.

Just 24 hours to go the much awaited event, that is speculated to be one of the most widely reached initiative of the BITSian community, and the team is geared up for crazy time till next evening.
