The One Young World Summit 2024: A Beacon of Youth Leadership

As the One Young World Summit 2024 approaches, anticipation is building for what promises to be
an unforgettable gathering of young leaders from around the globe. This year,
the event will take place in Montreal from September 18-21, offering a vibrant
setting for this annual convergence of talent and innovation. 

Ella Robertson, managing director of One Young World, is particularly
excited about this year’s summit. “We are thrilled to bring together such
a diverse group of young leaders who are making a tangible impact in their
communities,” she remarked. The summit aims to foster connections among
young visionaries, facilitating discussions and collaborations that lead to
real-world solutions. 

The Opening Ceremony, set to be hosted at Montreal’s iconic Bell Centre, will be a grand
kickoff. The summit will then continue at the Montreal Convention Centre, known
for its environmental sustainability efforts. Attendees can look forward to
hearing from a stellar lineup of speakers, including activist Kerry Kennedy,
business leader Paul Polman, and Olympian Mark Tewksbury. 

One Young World is not just an event; it’s a movement. Founded to accelerate social
impact, the summit draws over 190 countries and more than 250 organizations.
Robertson emphasized the unique nature of the summit, noting, “We are
among the few events globally that a city welcomes with such enthusiasm.” 

Scholarships play a crucial role in ensuring diverse participation. Ella Robertson highlighted the organization’s commitment to
accessibility, noting that about a third of attendees are on fully funded
scholarships. This inclusivity is vital for the summit’s mission of fostering a
global network of young leaders regardless of their socioeconomic background. 

As the One Young World Summit 2024 approaches, it stands as a testament to the power of youth in
shaping the future. Under the guidance of leaders like Ella Robertson, this
year’s event promises to be a transformative experience for all involved.
