We want to thank everyone for coming to the TEDxTokyoEntertain Shinnenkai at the MLB Cafe on Friday! We had almost 200 people come together to connect and socialize. It was a great start to the new year as we look forward to the upcoming TEDxTokyo event on May 15th 2010.

TED India was a true celebration and showcase of the Indian culture and its national pride. The speakers shared stories that provided insight into India’s current pulse and inner workings. This was a very different TED, as was to be expected with a TED conference organized outside of California. In addition to the distinct Indian atmosphere and vibrant talks, the fact that 90% of the 800 attendees were first-time TED participants heightened the level of excitement, joy and engagement.
TED India was hosted at the Infosys campus, which Fortune magazine calls the Taj Mahal of training centers. The campus is the size of Disneyland — 15,000 trainees go through it annually — and looks like it in many places, as well. It was quite an amazing site to explore during our days there… although I was glad I brought along my skateboard to cover its expansive grounds.
India TED talks have started to appear on the TED site, so check it out to listen to some of the talks and learn more.
Athlete, actor and activist Aimee Mullins talks about her prosthetic legs — she’s got a dozen amazing pairs — and the superpowers they grant her: speed, beauty, an extra 6 inches of height … Quite simply, she redefines what the body can be.
Legendary ocean researcher Sylvia Earle shares astonishing images of the ocean — and shocking stats about its rapid decline — as she makes her TED Prize wish: that we will join her in protecting the vital blue heart of the planet.
