With the OYW Summit acting as a convening force for young leaders, these sessions are critical in ensuring those who are leaders in their fields link up, collaborate and continue to exchange valuable knowledge post-Summit.
Sessions will be hosted in the morning and evening to accomodate as many timezones as possible.
