TED

TED is a well known non-profit organisation

devoted to spreading ideas around the world,

usually in the form of powerful talks that are

18 minutes or less in duration.

Started in 1984 as a conference dedicated to

Technology, Entertainment and Design, TED

now showcases important ideas from any

discipline, whether it be science, business or

global issues, in some 100 languages.

The independently organised TEDx events

create a stage for the sharing of ideas in

communities around the world.

TEDx

TEDxAmsterdam is an annual event organised by a team of skilled and

energetic volunteers.

Each TEDx event is unique in its content and design but shares certain

features with all events organised around the world.

TEDx events are planned and coordinated independently under a

license from TED.

TEDxAmsterdam

Established in 2009, TEDxAmsterdam was one of the first TEDx events to

be organised internationally, and the first in the Netherlands.

The Theme for 2017 is, “One Step Beyond”, containing the inspiring sub-

themes, “Beyond Human”, “Beyond Nature” & “Beyond Intelligence”.

TEDxAmsterdam embodies the spirit of the city of Amsterdam

The city of Amsterdam and the TEDx spark inspiration, wonder and creativity.

Vanguard Innovation

TEDxAmsterdam was among the first 20 TEDx events to be launched in 2009

Award

The TEDxAmsterdam Award supports promising

new ventures and individuals with great ideas.

Every year, the awards team received around 250

applicants from eager entrepreneurs and initiators of

change.

With a jury consisting of 20 TEDxPartners, the team

assesses and supports these initiatives.

The Award process brings together established

companies and newly formed startups to facilitate

new opportunities.

Partners & TEDxAmsterdam

Together with our partners, we are realising

TEDxAmsterdam.

We make sure our partners are satisfied, connected

and involved with the event, before, during and

after.

With the 9th edition of TEDxAmsterdam coming up

this year, and the 10th anniversary edition in 2018,

we have attractive formats of together making the

impossible possible.

Partner Networking Opportunities

In previous editions we have noticed that partners

like to exchange information and build relationships

with other partners.

For this reason, we will organise several online and

offline partner activities including partner events in

July and October, meetings with speakers prior to

the events, and a dedicated online TEDxAmsterdam

Partner communication platform.

Who will be there?

TEDxAmsterdam is a great way to get in touch with inspiring individuals and

entrepreneurs in an unconventional and creative way, such as startups, dedicated

young professionals, creatives and CEOs.

Talks vs. Performances

In addition to the inspiring talks

on stage, we programme a wide

range of interdisciplinary

performances both on- and

offstage.

Together with the TEDx

partners, foyers are transformed

into interactive experiences that

allow the guests to connect in

surprising ways linked to the

theme of the event, “One Step

Beyond”.

Why TEDxAmsterdam?

TEDxAmsterdam provides a stage for the sharing of

new ideas and inspiration with attendees and the city

of Amsterdam, as well as audiences around the world.

We aspire to establish healthy, sustainable and

valuable partnerships, appealing to both the TEDx

Partners, their stakeholders and the TEDx Guests.
