TEDxAmsterdam 2026 Main Event: What Comes After Growth?

🎟️ Tickets are now on sale! Join us for the 16th edition of TEDxAmsterdam, our flagship Main Event, bringing ideas worth spreading to the big stage

We’re in between worlds, at the cusp of change.

Long-standing international rules, financial institutions, and technological paradigms are shifting substantially. The world we’ve built is changing and with it, some of the assumptions we’ve taken for granted.

So, what comes After Growth?

In the 16th edition of TEDxAmsterdam, we open the floor to dissect the questions that could shape what comes next.What happens when technology changes what it means to be human?

Can we build economies that thrive without perpetual growth?

What does it take to remain hopeful when the problems we face feel bigger than any one of us?

And how do we decide what and who gets to shape the world that comes next?

From the personal to the political, the human to the technological, After Growthasks us to look at the world we’ve inherited and question what comes next.
