In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations).

Ryohei Suzuki

He shares an idea of “positive shrinking of areas”: He talks about how we can thoughtfully shrink small villages at rural areas in Japan which suffered from rapid decrease in population.
