About us

The world has grown by leaps and bounds. Our landscapes are expanding and we are conquering both the soaring heights and the gaping depths. But to talk about our growth trajectory in isolation, is only half the story told. On the downside while hopes have escalated, so has the possibility of a holocaust. So much so that we all believe the Mars will be our new residence and also the fiercely opposite fallacy of doomsday. Problems of metastasized at geometric rates and the only way forward is through synergy.
Synergy 2016 celebrates the human ability to cooperate rather than compete, to combine rather than command, to contend constructively rather than counter frivolously. Because when we synchronise, we can be the true masters of our fate.
This year we bring to you a new wine in old bottle. Following the same legacy, the events have been transformed significantly to give you the thrill often missing and wanted in daily life. And as we say it in Xavier’s, Synergy is not a fest, it’s a feeling. So gear up and get ready to experience it.
Conclave

Be here. Behear. To The finest of minds, On The finest of issues.
