TEDx Coolhaven Women

Join us at TEDx Coolhaven Women 2025 for an inspiring exploration of “Finding Balance” in a world where technology accelerates faster than ever, and the lines between digital and physical realities continue to blur.

Building on last year’s sold-out success, this year’s edition goes beyond resilience to ask: How do we navigate life, work, and leadership in the age of AI? How do we balance innovation with human connection, digital progress with emotional wellbeing, and ambition with rest?

In 2024, our community came together to share stories of resilience and renewal. This year, we take the conversation further - diving into how AI is reshaping our identities, relationships, and future opportunities. Expect powerful talks on digital safety, emotional wellbeing in hyper-connected environments, ethical innovation, and how women are redefining leadership in a tech-driven age.

Rotterdam, a city that embodies balance between reinvention and heritage, is the perfect backdrop. From its bold modern architecture to its rich maritime roots, Rotterdam reflects the very essence of finding harmony amidst transformation. Coolhaven—located at the heart of this vibrant city—symbolizes that balance: a place where industrial history meets modern innovation, and where diverse voices come together to inspire change.

TEDx Coolhaven Women is proud to be part of Rotterdam’s international, entrepreneurial, and deeply diverse community. This event is a celebration of women’s voices across tech, health, art, sustainability, and business—offering bold ideas for navigating life in our increasingly complex, digital-first world.

On October 10, 2025, we invite you to join us for a day of big ideas, real conversations, and moments of connection that will leave you inspired to find your own harmony—online and offline, at work and at home, for today and for the future.

Let’s explore together - can we truly find balance in a world that never slows down? Join the conversation and connect with a high-level network of thought leaders, innovators, and changemakers shaping the future.
