1. Dear TEDxAmsterdam Community,
HERE WE ARE AGAIN
SOMEWHERE IN TIME
RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW.
TOGETHER FOR THE
SIXTH ANNUAL
TEDxAMSTERDAM EVENT.
This year’s theme (Some-where
in Time) offers a great
opportunity for our speakers
to reflect on the past, the
present, and the future. For
a day we are all historians,
futurists, and time travelers.
I know many of you are
familiar with the term back-casting.
Backcasters imagine
where they want to be in the
future and then map the path
to that future backwards,
step-by-step, until they get to
the present day. In this way
they can understand what
needs to be done; to arrive at
the desired point in time and
break free of the assumptions
of the present and current
trends and fashions, in order
to create something new.
I think what TEDx visitors
have in common is that they
want the future to be better
than the present. We want
to leave the world as a better
place. We’d like the future
to be a time of peace, a time
of plenty, a time of justice,
a time of creativity, joy, and
freedom. If we were back-casters
we would describe
that future and map out ways
to get there.
This is what TEDxAmster-dam
is all about: it’s about
taking the ideas that will lead
us into a better future, shar-ing
them, and making them
happen: ideas worth sharing
and worth doing.
The performers and speak-ers
planned for today have
all imagined their version
of the future. They all work
towards achieving it. They do
it with invention, innovation,
and inspiration. Time is their
teacher, and they use the past,
present, and future to
create something new and
exciting.
Today is a day to be remind-ed
not of what divides us, but
what brings us together. We
are all united in time.

THE MINISTERY
OF TIME
Specially for TEDxAm-sterdam
The Ampersand
Assembly are portraying
‘The Ministry of Time’. The
ministry comes together to
collect the ideas, dreams and
wishes of today, in order to
investigate the puzzles of our
time. To transgress these ideas
into the future the Ministry
has brought a time capsule
to conserve these solutions
for the next generation to
come. Therefore we will ask
each, and every one of you,
to bring a personal object
that symbolizes our current
moment in time.
At 7:45 PM, November 28th
2014, the time capsule will of-ficially
be sealed with a grand
ceremony and safely stored
until 2020.
8. THE HUMAN CLOCK
It all started with
a quote from CS
Lewis: “The future
is something which
everyone reaches at
the rate of 60 minutes
an hour, whatever he
does, whoever he is.”
This was the starting
point for creative
agency We Are Pi to
construct this year’s
campaign ‘United in
time’. Barney Hob-son
from We Are Pi:
“One pair of hands
tells the time. Many
hands make history.
The Human Clock
is a challenge to unite all of us in seconds,
minutes, hours and days, together.”
OUR IDEA WORTH
SPREADING
The idea behind the Human Clock is simple:
no matter what your language, your race, no
matter where you’re from or what you do,
we all have one thing in common – the time
we share. The world’s fi rst Human Clock
aims to shine a light on human div ersity by
bringing as many faces as possible together
as part of an ever-evolving digital clock.
A CHALLENGE
TO MANKIND
In co-ordination with crew, guests and
followers of TEDxAmsterdam, the global
TEDx network and
beyond, the Human
Clock is an iterative
open source exper-iment
that builds
as each new face is
added. The goal is to
reach 24 hours worth
of one-second faces.
The Human Clock is
a challenge to man-kind
to celebrate our
differences - United
in Time.
One second is one
click away. Share
your clock face with
the world on Thehu-manClock.

10. TEDxAmsterdam is honored to have the most creative,
inspiring and innovative companies backing us.
HERE IS
WHY THEY
ING
Robert Specken, Managing
Director Corporate Finance
ING:
“ING is proud to be a
partner of TEDxAmster-dam.
Creative thinking,
entrepreneurship, innova-tion,
knowledge sharing
and partnerships are crucial
elements to our daily work.
TEDxAmsterdam combines
all of these elements and
many more, and provides us
the opportunity to be at the
forefront of the changes that
are happening in our profes-sional
and private lives.”
ESSENT
Erwin van Laethem, CEO:
“Essent aims to play a lead-ing
role in the energy tran-sition.
DO IT
To accomplish this
goal we work together, with
talents, ambitious entrepre-neurs,
start-ups; everyone
with brilliant ideas. Ideas
worth spreading and doing:
exactly in line with TEDx-
Amsterdam’s perspective.
Essent supports this event,
not only to inspire, but also
to put innovative ideas into
action, meet potential part-ners
and offer them a net-work
to realize their ideas.
Together we are moving to
a sustainable future.”
KPN
Jan-Paul Ouwerkerk,
collaboration consultant
KPN: “KPN partners with
TEDxAmsterdam because
we think bringing people
and ideas together creates
the best innovations. It
broadens our horizon so we
can support our clients even
better and provide them
with solutions of the future.
Finally, by supporting
TEDxAmsterdam Award
we help to create a platform
for social innovation and
to make The Netherlands a
better place.”
AFK
Clayde Menso, CEO
Amsterdams Fonds voor
de Kunst (AFK): “The
addition of performing
arts to the TED Talks is
an Idea worth Spreading
to us! Artists work in the
now yet can catch time/
zeitgeist as no other. At the
11. same time mesmerizing art
is timeless. This powerful
paradox matches well with
this year’s TEDxAmster-dam
theme: Somewhere in
Time.”
DELL
Jeanine Peek, managing
director: “As a technology
company we believe that
technology can only stay
relevant through innova-tion
and innovation follows
from shared knowledge and
is supercharged by people
and inspiration. Not only
does Dell innovate their
own products, they also
want to empower their
customers to use technolo-gy
to realize their dreams.
That’s why we are a TEDx
Amsterdam partner for the
3rd year
in a row.”
CLIFFORD
CHANCE
Bas Boris Visser, managing
partner: “It’s a very inspir-ing
platform, both because of
the innovative and inspiring
ideas themselves and the
way they are presented. As a
partner we offer legal knowl-edge
combined with the
experience from our day-to-day
work with the business
challenges and opportuni-ties
the participants of the
TEDxAms Award will face.
For example: we provided
support to one of last year’s
nominees, now operating
under the name Yoni’’
DELOITTE
Wassili Bertoen, Managing
Director Deloitte’s Cen-ter
for the Edge – Europe:
“Technologies and business
strategies are changing at
an unprecedented pace.
Deloitte’s Center for the
Edge provides substantive
perspectives for new growth
from emerging opportunities
on the edges of business and
technology. TEDxAmster-dam
is a valuable partner and
this year’s theme shows that
again. It gives us the oppor-tunity
to also look at things
that don’t change so quickly.
We are excited and hope you
are too!”
MCKINSEY &
COMPANY
Sander Smits, partner at
McKinsey&Company in
Amsterdam: “We believe
in innovation, creativity,
and generally in connecting
enthusiastic people to one
another. Connection and col-laboration
are the birthplace
of entrepreneurship and
we strongly believe in the
positive impact of the TEDx
community on the Dutch
society.”
