TEDxRotterdam will be organizing its second Open Mic event ever! The Open Mic is open to everyone, providing a platform for every Rotterdammer with a Big Idea; be it innovative, creative or inspiring for the city of Rotterdam.

Just like last year, we will be pre-selecting the speakers for the Open Mic through pitches that have been submitted beforehand. The speaker with the best performance will be given the opportunity to take the stage at our main event on November 3rd, 2017. This does not only mean an official TEDx Talk on the red circle, the winner will also receive TED-worthy public speaker’s trainings. The assessment will be carried out by both a jury and the audience.

After the Open Mic, there will also be time to network while enjoying a drink and snacks. We are looking forward to seeing you there!

If you want to witness what the citizens of Rotterdam have to say, sign up quickly and get your free ticket here. There are only a limited number of seats available!
