You are cordially invited to the next TEDxTheHague salon! Our December edition — themed Positively Yes — is all about... you!

We'd positively like to hear your positive, personal stories. Because we'd like to end this year on a high. So...

Did you get to it?
Didn't you stop believing?
Do you have a reason to dance?
Have you taken the road less traveled?
Did you create something awesome, big or small?

Let's hear it, then!

Take our stage for just 3 minutes, and your seat is hereby confirmed. If not, keep your fingers crossed... participating guests get priority tickets this time!

We'll also keep the spirits high by watching and discussing the following videos:

Colin Robertson: A TED speaker's worst nightmare
Colin Robertson had 3 minutes on the TED stage to tell the world about his solar-powered crowdsourced health care solution. And then...

Ze Frank: Are you human?
Have you ever wondered: Am I a human being? Ze Frank suggests a series of simple questions that will determine this. Please relax and follow the prompts. Let's begin …

Rives: The 4 a.m. mystery
Poet Rives does 8 minutes of lyrical origami, folding history into a series of coincidences surrounding that most surreal of hours, 4 o'clock in the morning.

We hope this theme will resonate with you, awaken your curiosity and make you decide to attend TEDxTheHague. To stimulate conversation, we admit up to 20 guests. If you want to be put on our final guest list, please RSV. First-come, first-served!

Anne-Marie Reimert

Anne-Marie Reimert facilitates change processes and is a Pilgrim. She walked with her dog from the Netherlands to Rome. As a Pilgrim she learned to deal with uncertainty. How opening up helps accepting the things we can not change, find the courage to change what we can change and hopefully one day the wisdom to know what is what.

Kees Van der Waal

KEES van der Waal is certainly not a hopeless CASE and always seeking for ways to realise opportunities, wishes or ideas and it doesn’t matter whether your question is entrepreneurial, extracurricular and social or even about well-being, his answer for you is a positively YES!

My Nguyen

My name is My I’m a fun enthusiastic entrepreneur who loves to laugh and cheer people up. I believe in the power of connecting, especially in food connecting power (This is what my business basically is). I love to bring people closer with ideas, stories and visions to be shared and in the end together we create opportunities and have a good fun time. My talk shares my own experience about my fear and confidence in life. I believe it “Just Do It” philosophy. Take a courage to do what you love even though you might be afraid of lot of obstacles .

Roland Nooteboom

The world is ours to take care of. I believe in the principle to start small and how we can do something at this moment. What can I do to make a step? My name is Roland Nooteboom. I work as a creative. I believe in making your own decisions.
