The Format
Each speaker was given 18 minutes to deliver their epic talk. Every attendee had the same experience. One day of rapid fire inspiration.
Innovation for All
As a non-profit organization, we want to provide a world-class conference to all students regardless of their age, financial background, and past leadership experiences. We believe that every student should be given the opportunity to be inspired and to learn from some of the world’s most fascinating people.
Well we did it - the Changing the World conference was a huge success! With over 1300 attendees and 15 amazing speakers we have established ourselves as THE conference for emerging youth leaders in art, science and business. A special thank you goes out to all who helped. Keep an eye out for myself (Connor Dickie), Justin Lee, Sylvia Cheng and Doug Wightman, because we are doing it again next year and it’s going to be even bigger and better!
