When we host TedxRotterdam on the 29th of March 2019, it will be the fifth time there will be a TEDx in Rotterdam, for us a time to celebrate this landmark.

The first two were organized by other teams of volunteers, but no less important in where we are now. And we would like to acknowledge the wonderful job they did before us. The last three has been more or less been organized by the same group of volunteers.

The theme for this year is "Raising the Bar”

It is in peoples nature to do better and to be better than before. If you look at a city as vibrant and colourful as Rotterdam, Raising the bar is something we try to incorporate in our day to day actions.

Raising the Bar

Being better, trying to improve, not to impress someone else, but an internal challenge to make you look within…. Within yourself, your company, community and city and always try to elevate your thought and ideas.

This year will feature speakers that have risen to the occasion and have shown above and beyond, that raising their bar, is a foundation for the most wonderful ideas worth spreading.

They have done so by evolving, growing, searching, being open being critical because that is was raising the bar means to us. It’s a journey but it can also be an epiphany or a collective thought.

Raising TEDxRotterdam

With a theme like this, it gave us an opportunity to reflect on what has been, but also in how we can raise the bar with every event we organize. We would like to invite you on the 29th of March in the “Rotterdam Theater” and get inspired with ideas how the Raise your bar or share with us the ways you have done that already. Doors will open at 12pm. Program will start at 1pm. Please make sure you arrive in time!
