To give you some idea of what TED and TEDxTokyo are all about, here is how other members of the media have described the main TED conference:

“But here’s the thing — unlike at some other conferences of the famous and powerful, where amid the posturing and preening the occasional new idea rears its head before being shoved aside by the glitter and glam — TED is a conference that privileges creativity over celebrity …The list of things unveiled here first — Photoshop, Illustrator, the touch-screen technology of the iPhone — is literally unbelievable.”

– Eboo Patel, Washington Post, March 3, 2008

“The full impact of the TED will not be realized until weeks and even months from now. A presentation continues to resonate and have meaning; a chance encounter leads to a valued relationship; a moment of meditation leads to inner discovery and radical life alterations; a commitment to a cause or initiative alters the world in some small or even major way.”

“I just returned from the TED Conference in Monterey, California, perhaps one of the most interesting experiences of my life, three-and- a-half days of short presentations by scientists, writers, innovators and creative thinkers of the 21st century.”

– Susan Smalley, Huffington Post, March 6, 2008
