Student Pitch Night 2025

We look back on a successful Student Pitch Night event on Tuesday the 14th of January 2025. This evening took place ahead of our main TEDx VUAmsterdam event, which is taking place on April 24th 2025.
During this evening our student speakers got the chance to showcase their ideas and originality to a wider audience and jury by delivering a 5-minute speech on a personally chosen topic of interest.
The goal of the Student Pitch Night was to find a creative and highly-driven student speaker from the VU, who can present their topic alongside other speakers during the main TEDx VUAmsterdam event in April with this year's theme: The Space Between. The chosen student speaker for our main event in April will be provided with a speaker coach to ensure they are ready to speak on the big stage.
Congratulations to the winning student speaker Ian van der Loo!
