Last year, the TEDxAmsterdam Simulcast Events were an even bigger success than the first year. More venues, spread wider across the country and attracting more visitors! Some simulcast locations were very special, like the one from our sponsor in the highest office of Rotterdam (the Maastoren), one in the Watermuseum in Arnhem (the only one covering water) and a 3D simulcast in Pathé Tuschinski. We are also proud of the many universities who took part in spreading the ideas!

This year, we will provide a simulcast again. We welcome people to organise and host a simulcast event and encourage them to making it their own event. In principle everyone is allowed to organise a simulcast event, although we have some guidelines. We like to have maximum coverage across the country and even abroad. And we like the simulcast events to be open to everyone as much as possible. You can already get the buzz watching TEDxAmsterdamTV right on our website on the 24th from 10.00-22.00!
