About this event
On the 1st December 2011 the Van Gogh Museum hosts the Dutch version. The theme of TEDxWomen worldwide is: Reshaping the Future. For 2011 ‘heroes’ is the main theme. We can’t pay enough attention to the knowledge, awareness and enthusiasm that possibly form the inspiration for other budding ideas. This programme focuses on how women think and work, communicate and collaborate, learn and lead. We explore what this means and why it is of importance to us all. TEDxAmsterdamWomen reveals who the women are that bring on these leading changes, and gives them a platform for their ‘Ideas worth spreading’.
