Application for Speakers TEDxHamamatsu 2016

We TEDxHamamatsu 2016 are looking for a few speakers the same as last year.

Is there anyone who has “ideas” worth speading 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 2016 which will be held on Sep 25. 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.
