TEDxTheHague 2025: Zoom Out
Details
Join the biggest TEDxTheHague event in 2025!
We live our lives in pixels, fleeting updates, trending topics, and algorithm-driven feeds. But what happens when we stop focusing on the single pixel and look at the entire canvas?
On November 8th, join us at Zoom Out—the major TEDxTheHague event in six years—at Het Paard.
“Zoom Out” offers a special space to step back, reflect, and reconnect with the bigger patterns shaping our lives, our cities, and our world.
Get ready for an unforgettable experience filled with fresh ideas and extraordinary people.
Our eight inspirational talks will encourage you to see the bigger picture, challenge assumptions, and rediscover the power of human connection.
