Storytelling Open Mic with TEDx Amsterdam: "But How Did it End?"
Storytelling Open Mic Night with TEDxAmsterdam
Everyone has a story worth sharing. Together with TEDxAmsterdam, we're bringing people together at Zoku Amsterdam for an evening of real stories, unexpected twists and meaningful connections.
Theme: But How Did It End?
We all know how a story begins. But sometimes, the most interesting part is how it ends.
A relationship, an adventure gone wrong, a questionable decision or a moment that changed everything. Whatever your story, we want to know: But how did it end?
Going Offline
We're going back to the roots of storytelling and keeping things offline.
No phones, recording devices or personal photography.
No video cameras or promotional content.
No microphones. Just voices, stories and people listening.
TEDxAmsterdam will be the only party taking occasional photos of the evening.
This is about being present, creating a safe and welcoming space, and giving stories the attention they deserve.
Whether you are stepping up to share a story or sitting back to listen, you are part of the evening.
Come as you are. Leave the phone in your pocket. And tell us: But how did it end?
How the Night Works
There are two ways to join us:
Speaker Ticket: Got a five-minute story to share? Sign up for a chance to take the floor! We'll draw names at random on the night to decide who gets to share. No storytelling experience needed, just a story worth telling.
Audience Ticket: Prefer to sit back and listen? Come enjoy an evening of personal stories, surprising endings and fresh perspectives.
Please note: A Speaker Ticket doesn't guarantee a speaking slot. We'll send a reminder email 24 hours before the event explaining how the draw works.
Space is limited, and RSVPing doesn't guarantee entry. We recommend arriving early to secure your spot.
