We’ve rushed into already the third edition of Bliksem en Donderdag – A Thursday Enlightning Event.
Inspiration, interaction, connection and acceleration are the core values of this sparkling event.

VPRO Medialab, Baltan, High Tech Campus and TU/e recently launched a new platform, where makers, creatives, tech-pioneers and thinkers can test their ideas for a wide, active audience: Bliksem en Donderdag.

The first two editions were very succesful. Every edition there were eight fascinating pitches, both nights were sold out (ninety seats) and wonderful matches were made between the pitchers and the audience.

Be part of this! Join us for this creative night! Everyone is invited although we have ninety seats only!
Register here!

We also invite you to present your own wild idea! Do you have an original and innovative idea and do you need help to make it happen? If you want to pitch send us quickly an email: medialab@vpro.nl

Bliksem en Donderdag is an 'international' stage where designs, concepts and ideas can be shared, tested and accelerated. The evenings will bring a number of short presentations by innovatory pionering makers, thinkers, doers and dreamers. There will be no passive audience. Everyone in the room will be motivated to respond and contribute. By explaining their own ideas and finding a match participants will encourage each other to continue or challenge each other to improve.

Bliksem en Donderdag is inspired by the 'boterhammensessies' ('sandwich' sessions) that took place in the 60s at the Philips Natlab at Strijp-S. During these sessions employees of the lab shared research and ideas. To discover, invent and innovate is in the DNA of Eindhoven. Countless designers, artists, IT specialists, students, and many labs, organizations and initiatives are constantly working on new products, concepts and ideas. It is our believe that an important key to acceleration lies in sharing your idea in an early stage, so you can test it and look out for partners.

For those interested, it is possible to join for diner, a two-course menu served by Kazerne for 24,50 euro. Book in advance at Kazerne mentioning Bliksem en Donderdag and if you have any dietary wishes. You can book online via www.kazerne.com, via reservations@kazerne.com of via phone, 040 304 1388.
