Networking
Has commenced with monthly sessions to welcome Delegates to One Young World and letting them meet and network with fellow Delegates from around the world.
Networking will continue on the digital platform, with Delegates assigned to each other for speed networking sessions, through “smart matchmaking”. Delegates can also connect with other Delegates through the search function in the app. The networking lounge also provides multiple opportunities for Delegates to connect informally.
For Delegates attending live in Munich, networking will take place during hotel meetups, break periods and evening events.
Our host city will be arranging city tours live for Delegates in Munich and virtually on the digital platform.
The mobile app allows all Delegates live and digital to communicate.

New York City Hub
A Regional Hub will be located in New York City for Delegates unable to attend the Summit live, in-person in Munich. The New York City Hub will have its own agenda of local speakers, Ambassadors and in-person workshops but will join the live Munich content when time zones connect. This regional hub location was selected based on travel and Covid restrictions.
