TED Talks have been one of the internet¡¯s more positive aspects since they began popping up online, and a format that has been replicated for a variety of situations.
In 2011, students at Waseda University created their own version of the Technology, Entertainment and Design conference via a non-profit called TED¡ÁWasedaU. It is currently the only TEDx Japan organization that offers presentations in both Japanese and English, a decision that underlines the students¡¯ desire to be heard by a diverse audience.
On the heels of its 10th anniversary, the TED¡ÁWasedaU team is aiming to put on its biggest event yet, which means an impressive lineup of speakers for its July 18 conference. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the event will not be held in person. However, attendees can sign up to be a part of the virtual audience for the event, which begins at 1 p.m.
