TEDxTokyo launched on May 22, 2009 at the National Museum for Emerging Science and Technology. It was the second major TEDx in the world and was an honor to be part of the pioneering few TEDx events in the world.

It was more than event – it was a full day experience. Twenty-three speakers from Japan and elsewhere shared their compelling visions and stories with the community at Miraikan, Japan’s National Museum for Emerging Science and Technology. Thousands more watched via our live stream and tracked events through Twitter.

The TEDxTokyo community made the event a success
We challenged our speakers to give the talk of their lives idea in 18 minutes or less. Twenty-three shared their compelling stories with us.
