On June 4th TEDx Rotterdam will debute at the Nieuwe Luxor Theater Rotterdam hosting a platform on which 20 renown experts will share their ideas in front of a crowd of 800 people. Its theme Something Completely Different focuses on a no-nonsense approach of connecting city, human identity and knowledge distribution by offering high quality talks represented by professionals coming from a broad scope of disciplines.
Speakers as Bas Haring, Arjan el Fassed, Ed Wubbe, Noisia and Frances Gouda will offer you insights in philosophy, social communication, the art of bodily movement, genderstudies, music and many more interesting areas, you don’t see that often united at one stage.TEDx Rotterdam wants to break boundaries, reinterprete structures and empower cross-disciplinair interactions by bringing together an inspiring mix of visions. As one of Europe’s largest ports, Rotterdam symbolizes multiculturalism, cultural relativism & globalism uniting different nationalities, customs & habits, norms & values.
On behalf of the organising team of TEDxRotterdam, I want to extend the city’s tolerant and accepting character by offering a climate of openness and sharingon the 4th of June. Come home and join us at the Nieuwe Luxor Theater to create collectively a living room of inspiration and sublimation by building a firm foundation for a new future. Check thewebsite
