TEDxAmsterdam is back at Spaces, and this time to bring you an all-new Spring Edition – featuring the very best performances that TEDx has to offer. Together, we’ve arranged for a wonderfully unique line-up of inspirational speakers that’ll truly get you in a spring-vibe.
Line-up
Ariah Lester
Sometimes, less is more. Well, in this case, Lester is definitely more. Nothing comes quite close to his mesmerising on-stage performance with stunning falsetto vocals and sensual movements accompanied by heavy basslines and tribal beats. We could give you more spoilers but honestly, this is something for you to experience for yourself. So kick back, be in the moment and enjoy the ride.
Thijs van Vuure
What if art, philosophy and science all came together and made a baby in the shape of an inspiring talk? Look no further, because we got you. Thijs van Vuure combines the best of all into a mind-blowing experience which is sure to leave a unique impression.
Fons Trompenaars
Prof. & Dr. Trompenaars has been delivering motivational speeches for a while now and gained the solid recognition as one of the world’s most influential living management thinkers. Having founded Trompenaars Hampden-Turner (THT), he has since turned to writing and also consulting. His talk will be insightful for managing dilemmas in the digital age, with a focus on how to intertwine existing core methods before the digital age, with the new, savvy ideas. Allowing us to synergize older traditional business concepts with the new worlds of IT.
Astrid Sonneveld
Our fourth and final speaker is winner of the 2017 TEDxAmsterdam award, so clearly an inspiration to us all. Astrid Sonneveld will be here to reveal the secrets behind the shipping containers we often turn a blind eye to and don’t think much about. Shipping vessels carry up to 90% of our goods. Powering through our oceans and racking up space in dockyards ready to replenish a whole host of goods. What many of us assume to be a straightforward and economic process is actually host to a number of dark secrets. Astrid will show us how her winning idea; GoodShipping is something definitely worth doing. A narrative about how to shape and impact our future by turning the sea-blind into happy adopters of a tangible solution, ready to be used here and now.
