Today TED announced a new brilliant extension to the TED-experience: TEDx. Where x stands for “independently organized TED event”. It’s my pleasure to announce TEDxAmsterdam!

Together with some other Dutch TED-izens I’m planning this event on October 23 November 20 of this year. It will be `a full day of inspiration, top speakers, all time favorite TED talks, food, people and music.`

For me personally, this is just the announcement. I look forward to your input and thoughts on how TED can be best experienced in The Netherlands. Therefore I will organise some meetings and open up a Wiki or Ning page.

Voor de Nederlandse geĂ¯ntereseerden… ik heb hier een online plek ingericht waar we lekker kunnen stoeien over het programma!

Wordt ook nog vervolgd in real life.

Wow, this is great news Jim. Blocked the date in my calendar!

Geweldig initiatief Jim!

Wat een geweldig initiatief. Werk graag mee!

Looking forward to it!
