TEDxTheHague

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.

Speakers:

• Maarten van der Weijden, an Olympic champion in open water swimming (2008) despite his leukemia diagnosis in 2001.
• Mads Nissen, a documentary photographer, author and a three-time recipient of the main prize at World Press Photo, ‘Photographer of the Year’ (2023).
• Kelly Indira Buis, a trained conflict analyst, the founder of The Adaptation Company.

More speakers will be announced soon!

TEDxTheHague welcomes anyone who values learning, fresh perspectives and positive impact. Mark your calendar and join a community of bright minds ready to re‑embrace ideas worth sharing and create real change together.

IMPORTANT! Payment at the door is not possible. In order to attend the event, you should purchase a ticket beforehand via the following link:

Community Meetup

The theme of this session will soon be announced!

In this community gathering, we’ll create space to slow down, connect, and reflect together. Through dialogue, stories, and simple exercises, we’ll explore what it means to be present — with ourselves, with others, and with what is unfolding.

Our TEDx team is still growing and we welcome passionate TEDx-fans to join us and explore big ideas. Hope to see you there!
