Speakers include Dennis Whittle, founder of Global Giving; Dan Ariely, behavioral economist and New York Times bestselling author; Alan Murray, online editor of The Wall Street Journal; Shamila Kohestani, ESPY award winner and captain of the first Afghanistan women’s national soccer team; and Victoria Hale, founder of The Institute for OneWorld Health, among others.
Many tickets have been awarded via TEDxUNC challenges, and the remaining tickets will be open to the public today at noon via Event Brite (www.tedxunc.eventbrite.com).
