In light of this year’s theme, Playing with Fire, TEDxWakeForestU aims to give innovators and storytellers the opportunity to share stories of disruption to fuel positive change. The event will showcase 8 different speakers coming from diverse professional backgrounds and life experiences worth sharing. Each speaker has been carefully chosen to cater to the interests of Wake Forest students and the surrounding Winston-Salem community. We aim to provoke thought and create engagement by sharing ideas from individuals who have made groundbreaking strides in their field. This year's speakers include: Artis Stevens, David Yamane, Keve Eveland, Leanda Cave, Lenny Stern, Meryl Poster, Sariah Fischer, and Emilio Morgenstern. Join us to hear from the CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, the first woman in history to win both the IRONMAN and IRONMAN 70.3 World Championships in the same year, a multi-award-winning movie producer, and many more!
