INK2013 is a conference being held in Kochi on October 25-27, 2013. INK is associated with the hugely successful TED series of conferences that have become invaluable sources of content across the world. The format of INK is quite similar to that of TED: each talk is by an expert in the field, and is restricted to no more than 18 minutes. Thus, in a short time span, you are able to get the gist of some of the latest research in areas as diverse as media, medicine, nanotechnology, and music. See www.inktalks.com

For those who are unable to go to the live event in Kochi, ASB has partnered with INK to offer a live real-time streaming of all the talks. This is called INKStream 2013. You can see all the talks on the screen in the ASB Conference Hall an experience that is almost as good as being live at the event.
