TEDxTokyo 2011: Enter the Unknown

The Event

On May 21st we were delighted to bring you Enter the Unknown, the biggest and best annual TEDxTokyo event to be held yet, with an even wider range of speakers and participants to share ideas and inspiration.

In the wake of the devastating March 11th earthquake and subsequent tsunami & radiation menace, we abruptly altered our focus to explore practical and inventive ways of rebuilding and renewing Japan, and uplifting the spirits of its people.

Over 30 speakers and 300 participants joined us at Tokyo’s iconic Miraikan, with thousands more around the world watching via our bilingual live streams, whilst taking part through our social media channels.
