TEDxAntwerp 2021

TEDxAntwerp

Together with a team of volunteers, Deepak Mehta and Jeroen Toelen are just embarking on shaping a fourth edition of our independent TEDx event after the pandemic.

Shaped by one of the biggest seaports in the world, Antwerp is one of the most diverse cities in the world, counting more nationalities than New York City. Boasting a rich history of banking, trading and arts -with painters such as Peter Paul Rubens, Anthony van Dyck and Jacob Jordaens; and bookprinters such as Christoffel Plantijn-, the city has grown into a young and modern economic hotspot, highly attractive for everything that’s fashion, diamond trade, and both classical and modern art.

With TEDxAntwerp, we try to bring a new generation of changemakers in our city together. We therefore gather a well-balanced mixed audience of students, creatives, business leaders and technologists.

TED stands for Technology, Entertainment and Design. It is well-known for its online talks which have been viewed over a billion times worldwide. In 20 years, TED has grown into a phenomenon that successfully attracted influencers like Al Gore, Bill Gates, Edward Snowden and many others to appear on stage.

The TEDxAntwerp speaker line-up will be announced before the event on our website www.tedxantwerp.be and social media channels. Get ready for a fully packed event with inspiration, entertainment, and interesting conversation with other TEDx fans!

This is an afternoon event, no lunch included. Get your tickets now and follow us on social media for further updates!
