TAA Bangalore is the regular event organized by associate members to unite and improve the IITR/UOR Alumni Member Community in Bangalore and the Karnataka Area.

Since this is a free event and entirely volunteer run (and no, this is not our day job), we also expect active participation from everyone when it comes to running the event. This is as simple as picking up after yourself or actively fixing something if you see it’s broken, but please feel welcome to take an active role in making this a great event. We set the stage, but all of you make this happen!

Sessions and Topics

Current plans are to have one large open area which can hold over 100 people.

The official schedule will be based on the sessions chosen by members attending the event! See something you like? Add it to your schedule! What if a session doesn’t make it?

Are you good in organizing the event? Come help us early. We need volunteers.

What to Bring

Pack your enthusiasm, Tuck in your visiting cards and bring your family as well. For those dying to showcase their singing/ dance talents, bring along whatever it takes to put up a performance! Anyone specifically interested to put up a performance may send mail with “Performance” in the subject line.
