TED’s mission has always been to spread “ideas worth sharing”. Through so-called TED talks, speakers from all kinds of backgrounds aim to inspire an audience, foster innovation and bring about positive change. TEDx essentially does the same, but on a local scale. By organising a speakers competition, know as Pitch Night, at AUC and a yearly conference at an external location, TEDxAUCollege offers a TED-like experience to AUC students and the rest of Amsterdam. TEDxAUCollege opens up a new space at AUC to get involved and inspired, connecting leading figures in their respective fields with a community that is eager to learn.

TEDxAUCollege currently consists of seven board members and four sub-teams, lead by their respective heads. The board is composed of a chair, secretary, head of logistics, head of speakers, head of acquisitions and head of public relations. This year’s board members are: Franciszek & Louise (Co-Chairs), Yuvna (Secretary), Ke (Head of Logistics), Rebekka (Head of Speakers), Wiebe (Head of Acquisitions) and Zachary (Head of Public Relations). See the pictures below for a little look into our first event of this year, Pitch Night, and stay tuned for our upcoming main event: What’s Next?
