March Meeting FEW the World of TEDxTOKYO
TED and TEDx around the world have been spreading great ideas and inspiration talks for decades. Come learn about TEDxTOKYO and TEDxTOKYOyz from some of the amazing women making it happen. This Year’s TEDxTOKYO is going to be amazing and you can learn all about it with FEW. Find out what the buzz is all about and learn how you can become involved in an amazing ecosystem of Thinkers and Do-ers here in Tokyo and around the world.
What is TED?—TED is a small nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader. Along with the annual TED Conference in Long Beach, California, and the TEDGlobal conference in Oxford UK, TED includes the award-winning TEDTalks video site, the Open Translation Program, the new TEDx community program, this year’s TEDIndia Conference and the annual TED Prize.
TEDxTOKYO-
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED- like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x=independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.
