TEDxNyenrodeUniversity will teach local communities how to “think upside down”

In the dynamics of today's and tomorrow's world, rethinking is crucial. The biggest mistake people make is thinking the world is static.

To encourage people and organisations to take a bold approach in the face of challenges from a rapidly changing world, Nyenrode will host the TEDxNyenrodeUniversity event on Thursday 2nd February 2023.

Themed around the phrase, “Think Upside Down,” the event has been organised by strategy and innovation agency Stay Future Proof in collaboration with Nyenrode Business University. TEDxNyenrodeUniversity will platform six guest speakers to talk on diverse topics under the umbrella of advocating a fresh and unique view of the international business landscape.

Bas Kodden, Professor of Leadership & Management Development at Nyenrode Business University will talk about embracing the importance of abnormality and authenticity over talent.

Charlotte Melkert, co-founder and CEO of Equalture and featured in Forbes’ European list of the most influential people under 30, will explain how she started a tech company with her twin sister.

Ralf Wetzel, Associate Professor of Organisation & Applied Arts at Vlerick Business School, will reveal what leaders and administrators can learn from clowns.

You can see the full Speakers Line Up on the website.

TEDxNyenrodeUniversity Think Upside Down will take place on February 2, 2023 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Tickets to attend online cost €7.77 and are available here.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TED Talks video, and live speakers are combined to encourage deep discussion and connection. These local, self-organized events are called TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidelines for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
