Naomi Bugre

Three years ago a “bored on a Wednesday” moment led her
to Fusion Toastmasters Amsterdam – and she’s so blessed it did. From newcomer to mentor – this year she has the privilege of mentoring the new Amstelveen Toastmasters Club with Andy Baker. Full circle! And the excitement continues as Choy Travers and Naomi put together something awesome for the District 59 conference.

Performers

We are delighted to hand the stage over to...

Cora and Carlo

Cora and Carlo met through the music, when a common friend and former Toastmasters connected them to try out for a funk band. And then things escalated… 😉 Not only do they play music together, they also walk together in life.


Their favorite music genre to play is SOUL music, a genre that is as rich in sound and stories as a typical Toastmasters conference. Tonight they are to play for us.

DJ Thijme Vlaar

Saturday night at Seas the Moment ends on a high note with DJ Thijme Vlaar, bringing his signature blend of rhythmic drums, disco, and funk to the stage.

Hailing from clubs in Amsterdam, Thijme is known for mixing timeless classics with the fresh pulse of nu-groove, creating a vibe that’s both nostalgic and electric.

Gala and Party

Join us in the Zuiderduinzaal for our unforgettable District Gala 2025 with a unique beachy theme!

Menu

Enjoy a delicious feast at the Gala dinner, consisting of appetiser tasting, soup and a buffet of main courses followed by dessert.

Feminine Dress Code

Show off your most elegant dresses in sea-inspired colours (aqua, coral, gold) with beachy accessories like pearl jewellery.

The gala will be hosted on the fabulous dance floor inside of Hotel Zuiderduin, so both heels and flats are great options!

Masculine Dress Code

Think light linen suits or dress shirts in ocean hues (navy, white, pastel blues) with loafers or sophisticated dress sandals.

Note: Hawaiian shirts are more than welcome for the other conference evenings 😉
