There must be some other way to incorporate who are not employed any where. Just give a try. Thanks !
ReplyDeleteWow! Excited about the event. But, sadly only 100 participants!! :( Moreover, looking at the form it seems like we need to be employed somewhere to be a part of the audience. That's sad too. But, thanks for sharing this info. Glad to know TED Conference has reached Nepal too.
ReplyDeletei am wondering that who are presenting there. I extreamly eager to participate that at any cost but it will be as like what we find in Ted.Com in subject material. It will be very good thing if the organizer mention the name of presenter.
