Upon reflection, life is not a linear journey but a cyclical process
We rise, and we fall, alone and together.
There are moments in life where everything changes.
What used to be normal can change in the blink of an eye.
Through a conversation that made you think differently about something, an artwork that changed your perspective. Loss of someone or something. Love. Travel. A good night’s sleep. A newborn baby.
We’ve all had one or more pivotal moments in our lives. And now, recently, we’ve gone through a ‘180’ together as a society.
Everything changed, yet we became more still than ever. While being apart from each other, we had time to reflect, journey inside.
There were many hardships and losses. And also new pathways that opened up. Seeds sawn long ago that finally got the chance to sprout.
Upon reflection, life is about choices, and the question to ask is, what choices do we need to make now?

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxAmsterdam, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxAmsterdam event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
We are thrilled to invite more partners on board. Please reach out to our partner team at partners@tedxamsterdam.nl
We are a hundred percent volunteer-led organisation, all our events are not subsidised and are run on the enthusiasm of our partners, collaborators and volunteers. Each year a large group of volunteers dedicate their time and energy to set up events and build our community, acting as personal ambassadors for change and innovation. With their professional knowledge and skills, our volunteers bring ideas to life behind the scenes and on the day of our events. Be Part of This!
