During Pitch Night, participants have up to three minutes to share an idea linked to this year’s TEDxAUCollege theme. In line with TEDx guidelines, ideas focus on new or surprising perspectives, or familiar topics approached in a thought-provoking way. A jury will select two pitches that will be developed further and presented at the TEDxAUCollege Main Event in June 2026, to be held at a venue in Amsterdam.

Students selected to speak at the main event will receive guidance from the TEDxAUCollege Speakers Team, supporting them in shaping their idea into a full TEDx-style talk.

Pitch Night is open to all AUC students and staff, who are warmly invited to attend, listen to the pitches, and support emerging student voices within the AUC community.
