At times we wonder, ‘where have all the smart en beautiful people gone?’ On 4th of june we knew were you were. Here with us in the New Luxor Theater getting our rocks off with 30 fantastic TEDxTalks!
Many of you we have already spoken in person and thanked you for being there. You went through an elaborate registration process and often on a short term notice you cancelled all your appointments for the day.
You got yourself onto trains and trams and bicycles much earlier than normal to arrive on time and you faced an enormous queue in front of the Luxor. On the first day of summer you spend 10 hours with us in a dark theater to listen to people of whom you mostly had never heard before.
You believed in TEDxRotterdam just as much a we did!
You trusted us, and you deserved us. The TEDx Crew gave you the very best we could and we loved sharing this great event with you.
Without you TEDxRotterdam wouldn’t have been the same.
Thank you all. We love you! And see you next year!
