Global experts in a variety of fields will share their experiences with young people at the first Mohammed bin Zayed Majlis for Future Generations, which will take place next week.
The technology entrepreneur keynote speaker Alexis Ohanian, who co-founded Reddit, a news aggregator and discussion website, said he is honoured to be taking part among such an eminent group of speakers at the March 7 and 8 event.
"I am energised by the ambition of Emirati youth both for themselves and for their country, and I’m excited to share my experiences as an entrepreneur and investor with the hope of inspiring Emirati university students to chart their own path and make their mark on the future of the UAE," said Mr Ohanian, who is also a best-selling author.
Other international speakers who have been confirmed include Morinosuke Kawaguchi, a Japanese futurist and innovation expert who will be discussing the values of Japanese society as a way of life; Heath Slawner, a strategic communications and leadership speaker who will be talking about the importance of bringing purpose to everything we do; and Myron Rolle, a former American National Football League player and Rhodes scholar, who will host a breakout session on leading a balanced life, drawing on his academic and sporting successes.
The key themes of the event will include entrepreneurship and innovation, community development and future skills for tomorrow’s economy, as well as complementing speeches and discussions by some of the UAE’s most dynamic leaders from different ministries.
University students interested in attending the event should visit and register their interest by March 1.
The event will take place at Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, state news agency Wam reported.
