Ignite
Ignite is run by locals, for locals. Fast-paced and merciless, speakers get five minutes to present, making use of twenty slides that auto-advance every fifteen seconds. All presentations are given in English.

Ruben Jacobs & Tomm Velthuis (Radio Romantiek)
In Radio Romantiek the romantic takes centre stage. Think literature, cande light, port, maroon and hints of gold. Think Alexander Pushkin and Phil Collins making out on a furry rug. And listen to the soothing voices of Ruben and Tomm.
