★ also talk video has been nearly up to Youtube soon.

Projected on the big vision of QFront "TED" and was represented by a red umbrella of people across the scramble crossing "X". And emerge character of "TEDx".By utilizing the characteristics of the Shibuya of the city in a dynamic it has been expressed. Tsu indeed! !

★ Making the video is here.

This event is an invitation-based entry-limited entry, so we perform public viewing on Shibuya Hikarie 1F and 8F, and live live streaming online.

Meanwhile received your edge, because we were able to sneak into the event, we will introduce the fact that I felt, it was experience.

TEDxTokyo Why do you attract people.　
1. It can be known a variety of fields.
Abbreviation of the TED T (technology), E (Entertainment), D (design). It had been the theme of three of the above areas is the first place, only now in the artist, only social entrepreneurs, not only technicians, all genres have been mixed. This TEDxTokyo also the universe, blind football, economy, etc., talk in all fields had become scramble.

I from the increasingly Internet use, I feel recently with his field of view is narrower. While you are reading an optimized news to myself, would the information have been biased.

TEDxTokyo of charm, I do not know the world, also to hear the ideas of the people who are working in it directly. And has also heard the idea of art, such as you do not click with "a little complicated, but ..." When was the net will come dwarf is a jerk and interest.

2. Speakers of charm.
Are in tremendous distant world, only terribly excellent people is not necessarily change the world, and be felt. Opportunity is or was very things that sense of closeness is frame such as "want to help a friend", even though now successful, way to come in there or was that sense of closeness is bord. Also Let's challenge! You come out the courage that.

3. Oh organizers side also that, on ...
TEDx is everyone a volunteer, not a profit. But "volunteer ≠ spare time, amateur," I do not. They are pure, you handed down is that you are pursuing what you enjoy Once you do with the participant (not come people to the venue included).

TEDx was not a presentation event? !
Talented professionals is, that you are working as a volunteer until the rest of the core business. Do you wonder What is its charm, and was much more mysterious.

The question was solved a little to participate.
It was not the only "TEDx = presentation event".
There was also "place of community development" to go to realize the idea.

Its noticed felt I am allowed to participate in the reception (party) that have been made after the end of the TEDxTokyo.

It was done in gold king Hachiman Shrine in place from Hikarie of about a 5-minute walk away.
Is there a tent, but the open-air. Climate is also just good to feeling good.

Ushered in the playing of gagaku, hors d'oeuvres and freshly baked lamb is adapted to carry around on the paper cup, it while drinking a beer, enjoy the conversation with participants who were, including the Speakers. It will climax in a very open atmosphere.

Feeling like "- a friend of a friend", we will continue to lead the network in the first meeting with each other among the participants. Collection of adult students as the atmosphere, like a impression. If the care, or is based on the idea of Speakers, each participant is each other and share the consciousness idea / problem to have. Such loose feel that network (community) is finished.

"Let's challenge."
When everyone is in such a mind, Japan has become more energetic.

Or was elderly, or sick, or was employment, such as it is often caught in a dark point of view the problems of the world, and try to challenge to be able to yourself in casual opportunity, prove to be one step that will help to surprisingly world, and I think we It was.
TEDxTokyo I felt to have the power to go is to the "opportunity".

Why busy people from the world, or come together for the sake of TEDxTokyo.
Why to participate only talented creators, it is a volunteer this.
Why TEDx has spread only this all over the world.
※ TEDx will be held in the countries and regions of the world 149, it has been made in the 1 million times (8 times of pace per day) over a five-year period

It would like to improve the world, I think not because there is a thought of mankind.
