This year we honor the brave. Our theme of 2019. Because before we step out of our comfort zone, we like to be inspired. To see that there is a path we can walk on. We found eleven brave ones who are courageous enough to inspire you with their idea. Who are brave enough to step on that red dot on November 5th in The Maaspoort. Are you brave enough to join? 

Don’t get us wrong. Being brave doesn’t mean you have to jump from a cliff. Or to be Max Verstappen tearing across the circuit of Spa. 

Nope. It’s woven into our daily lives. 

It is saying I love you first. 

It is to move to another country and start a new life. 

It is to give someone another chance. 


But it is also to love kids who are not your own. 

Or the single mother who is working hard to give her children a better future. 

And of course, the speaker who is stepping on that red dot to tell a story that is worth to share.

Basically, it is you and me. Inspire each other. Encourage each other to take that next step. 

 

The brave ones on stage 

The ones that will inspire you on November 5th in The Maaspoort are:

  • Nila Patty who made a brave choice and inspire others to do the same.
