Our Team

TEDxChuo University is structured around one Organizer and one Co-organizer, together with five teams: Operation, Speaker, Finance, Design, and Marketing. By working closely across teams, we drive the project forward as one—from planning and preparation to smooth execution on event day.

Co-organizer

YUKA WARADA

Greeting

Hello
We are Shizuka Kyo, organizer of TEDxChuo University 2026, and Yuka Warada, co-organizer. Thank you very much for your continued interest in TEDx.
TEDxChuo University is not simply a platform for sharing information. It is a space where ideas born from one’s own life experiences can be put into words and shared with others. Through this space, we hope new perspectives will emerge, creating connections among students and between the university and society.
The year 2026 marks a significant milestone as TEDxChuo University hosts its very first event. To represent this beginning, we have chosen the theme “Moss.” Moss is small, quiet, and often overlooked. Yet it continues to grow even in harsh environments, supporting its surroundings from the ground up. In this image, we see the many unseen presences in modern society that quietly sustain and create value.

Marketing Department

The TEDxChuo University Marketing Team is made up of seven members who use creative content and targeted communication to share our speakers’ ideas and the spirit of TEDxChuo University with a wider audience. As we prepare for our first-ever event this year, stay tuned for more updates!
