TEDxStockholm: Generation WHY? Speakers Announcement

TEDStockholm: Generation WHY? is fast approaching. The event, happening on November 12th will focus on Millennials, a generation that has explored new situations that no generation before has experienced, from mass migration to mass consumption in an online world. This has culminated in new paradigms that shape how we communicate across the globe and how we interact across generations.
Tickets for the event are available, so make sure to grab yours! The event starts at 5PM. Registration begins at 4PM at Aula Medica at Karolinska Institutet.
We are now proud to announce the speakers for this special night.
