TEDxTokyo 2013
TEDxTokyo 2013
Our 5th annual TEDxTokyo conference took place on May 11th 2013 at Tokyu’s stunning Shibuya Hikarie building for the second year running. This time, our theme was ’1+1=11′. Put simply, don’t take things for granted. As anyone who has been to a TEDxTokyo event knows, the best TED speakers, the ones that inspire us the most, are the ones that surprise, that challenge common thinking. We did exactly that. –
