Get Involved

Are you ready to become a part of a rising current of ideas, events and initiatives that could push the world in a positive direction? We want you with us, as a volunteer, participant, speaker, sponsor—or all of the above. Where you fit along that continuum of commitment naturally depends on your energy, passions and resources. Think about that, and then convince us why we should take you on board.

To get started, choose the most appropriate category below, and tell us a little about yourself and what you’d like to do using the link provided. We’re waiting to hear from you.

Volunteers

TEDxTokyo is powered by a growing team of dedicated volunteers. If you’d like to be one of them, please send an e-mail to volunteer@tedxtokyo.com, and tell us a little about yourself and how you can contribute to the event. Here are a couple of specific areas to consider:

Planning

If you’re interested in helping us plan upcoming programs, initiatives and activities, please contact volunteer@tedxtokyo.com to see what you can do.

Translation

We have a core group of specialists that provides Japanese subtitles for TEDTalks videos. If you can help us with that, or can recommend translators willing to do the same, please email volunteer@tedxtokyo.com with pertinent contact and background details.

Participants

The TEDxTokyo phenomenon is an open-ended affair, with events and programs like the upcoming May 2010 conference. We want you there with us, so please take a few minutes to send an e-mail to participate@tedxtokyo.com describing why you’d love to get involved. Hint: passion and purpose count for a lot.

Speakers

If you are interested in presenting your brilliant notions, or if someone you know has the potential to be a TEDxTokyo speaker, please fill us in on the particulars.

Sponsors

TEDxTokyo is looking for a select group of companies committed to supporting the power of ideas. To find out how your organization can tap into an ecosystem of extraordinary people sharing inspiring concepts, please send an e-mail to partnerships@tedxtokyo.com.
