TEDxAmsterdam

On September 16 we are hosting a free TEDxAmsterdam Salon event with our partner @dentsu_lab to explore the question - What happens when we rethink the spaces around us?

We’re bringing together three perspectives to explore the Critical Role of Spaces in an Expanding World. And we are excited to introduce our speakers:

🔴 Stephanie Akkaoui Hughes
Investor, entrepreneur and systems thinker, exploring how the environments and systems we create shape human behaviour, interaction and possibility.

🔴 Hans Meyer
Co-Founder and Managing Director of Zoku, rethinking how spaces can bring together home, work and social life and how we can use limited space more intelligently while keeping it human.

🔴 Naud van der Padt
Founder of Leafy, transforming unused urban façades into living ecosystems that bring biodiversity, cooling and a renewed connection with nature into the city.

Moderated by Pascal Rotteveel, Global Executive Creative Director at Dentsu Lab.

Together, they’ll explore where space is in crisis, where it could be reimagined, and how spatial infrastructure can play a more valuable role in our lives.

📅 September 16, 2026
🕠 17:30–20:00
