Delegate Speaker Applications 2025

Sheherazade: one of the climate ecological crisis plenary delegate speakers presenting at the 2024 summit

Delegate Speakers play a significant role in the Summit

Unlike traditional conferences, One Young World provides a platform for young leaders to speak alongside Presidents, Nobel Prize Winners, global business leaders and other inspiring global leaders. Delegate Speakers are a truly international cohort, sharing their impactful work, personal experiences, views and opinions with more than 2000 Summit attendees and the watching world.

 

Each Speaker is personally introduced by a Counsellor before delivering a five minute speech during one of the five Plenary Sessions. The Plenary Sessions are the foundations from which all content at the Summit is developed.
