Application for Speakers TEDxHamamatsu 2017

We TEDxHamamatsu 2017 are looking for a few speakers the same as last year.

Is there anyone who has “ideas” worth spreading from Hamamatsu to the world, or from the world to Hamamatsu? There must be great ideas which we haven’t met yet, as Hamamatsu city has many different faces like manufacturing, nature, music, tradition and so on.

In that sense, we would like to find speakers who can make a presentation on TEDxHamamatsu 2017 which will be held on Sep. 24. Please let us know your original idea.

TEDx is not a place to compete, to do business nor to speak about your dream or throb. Whether you are famous or not doesn’t matter. All you need is only the “idea”.

Your idea might illuminate someone’s heart, meet another idea and make up another new idea.. Let’s make such a rich potential opportunity together with us.

We will be waiting for your application.

Examples of the “idea” what we TEDxHamamatsu think

  • the idea which bring us something new or awareness
  • the idea which lead us to think or inspire a discussion
  • the idea which make us excited
  • the idea which change our view of the world

We are looking for the ideas like these examples.
