TEDxRotterdam — November 11, 2026
WHERE ARE WE RUNNING TO?
Nieuwe Luxor Theater, Rotterdam
We live in a time where everything is moving faster. Faster decisions. Faster growth. Faster lives.
And before we realise it, we move along with it.
But rarely do we stop to ask:
what is this speed doing to us?
On 11 November, TEDxRotterdam creates a space to step out of that rhythm. Not to slow down for the sake of slowing down, but to become aware of the direction we are moving in.
Through talks, stories, art, and shared experiences, we explore what acceleration means for ourselves, for our relationships and for the city we are shaping together.
Because the most important question might not be where are we running to? But what are we becoming while we’re moving?
