Guided by expert mentors, hands-on workshops, and a supportive community, they've challenged assumptions, tested their concepts, and sharpened their ability to communicate the change they want to create.Now, it's time to take the stage.On June 26, these pioneers will present their ventures, share the key lessons they've learned throughout the program, and pitch their vision to a live audience and an expert jury panel. Through a series of powerful 3 minute presentations followed by live Q&amp;A, we'll explore bold solutions to some of today's most pressing challenges, from youth empowerment and education to sustainability, gender equality, mental health, and social justice.At the end of the event, the jury will select two pioneers to advance to the TEDxAmsterdam main stage, where they will have the opportunity to share their idea, with an even larger audience in early November 2026.This event is an opportunity to discover emerging ideas, connect with Amsterdam's innovation ecosystem, and support the next generation of impact leaders.Join us for an inspiring evening of ideas and possibility, followed by networking drinks with the pioneers, jury, mentors, and wider TEDxAmsterdam community.Event Details📍 Zoku Amsterdam 📅 Thursday, June 26, 2026 🕓 4:00 PM – 7:00 PMAgenda4:00 PM | Welcome &amp; Opening Remarks4:30 PM | Pioneer Pitch Showcase Eight pioneers present their ventures through 3-minute pitches followed by 2-minute jury Q&amp;A.5:30 PM | Jury Deliberation5:45 PM | Announcement of the Two Selected TEDxAmsterdam Speakers6:00 PM | Networking Drinks &amp; Community Connections7:00 PM | Event CloseCome discover the ideas, people, and ventures shaping a better future.
