FAQs

Attending the One Young World Summit equips employees with the skills, connections, and inspiration to drive meaningful change. Key benefits include:

  • Networking – Employees connect with global young leaders, industry experts, and change makers, fostering cross-sector collaboration.
  • Inspiration – Exposure to world-renowned speakers and business leaders provides fresh perspectives and actionable insights.
  • Ambassador Community – Delegates join a global network, offering ongoing mentorship, collaboration, and learning opportunities.
  • Impact Assessment – Access to tools and frameworks enables employees to measure and enhance the effectiveness of their initiatives.

Your Delegates will return with renewed purpose, innovative ideas, and a strong network to drive impact within your organisations.

Before and after the Summit, employees have access to several valuable opportunities:

  • Pre-Summit Leadership Programme – A six-month programme of digital webinars and networking opportunities to build leadership skills ahead of the Summit.
  • Action Accelerator – A six-session programme designed to help Summit Delegates turn inspiration into action after the Summit.
  • Regional Events and Ambassador Opportunities – Employees can attend regional events and become part of the global One Young World Ambassador community, creating ongoing networking and growth opportunities.

These opportunities help employees continue their development and contribute meaningfully long after the Summit ends.

  • High-Potential Employees – Employees identified for their leadership potential and future impact within your organisation.
  • ERG Groups – Members of Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) who are driving different initiatives within your organisation which you would be looking to highlight or accelerate.
  • Graduate and Early Career Programs – Recent graduates or employees in the early stages of their careers, providing them with an opportunity to develop leadership skills and network with global change-makers.

  • Opening and Closing Ceremonies – Delegates will participate in inspiring opening and closing ceremonies, featuring world-renowned keynote speakers and thought leaders, the iconic One Young World flag and ribbon ceremonies, and world-class on-stage performances.
  • Networking Breaks – Throughout the event, there will be dedicated breaks for delegates to network with other young leaders, industry experts, and change-makers, fostering connections that will outlive the Summit days.
  • Presentation and Interactive Stage Sessions – Delegates will attend plenary sessions featuring influential speakers on the presentation stage, as well as interactive stage sessions that encourage deeper engagement and more intimate discussion on pressing global issues.
  • Evening Social Programmes – Social programmes in the evenings provide delegates with the opportunity to relax, connect informally, and build relationships in a more relaxed environment.
  • Workshops – All Delegates will attend a workshop that offers practical skills, techniques, and insights through interactive, scenario-based challenges and group discussions, enabling them to apply their learnings to future projects and initiatives.

There is no minimum time commitment; however, Delegates should be fully available for the duration of the summit, and their involvement after the event will depend on the programme you design for your strategy.

You can attend as a Partner Executive, connecting with like-minded senior professionals from diverse sectors and international backgrounds in a dynamic networking environment.

The cost will depend on how you design your strategy with us, but you can explore our pricing details on our dedicated pricing page here.

Our team of dedicated account managers will guide you through the entire process—from onboarding to your arrival at the Summit—ensuring that you and your delegation are fully prepared to make the most of the experience. Enquire now using the form below.

Partnering with One Young World allows Partners to look at the way they prioritise their sustainability and diversity efforts in their business strategy, as well as understanding what role their top talent plays in those initiatives and how, if you invest in talent, you can develop it, grow it, and retain it in the organisation.

By sending top talent to take part in the Summit and become part of our Ambassador Community, individuals return to the organisation with the ask, and the motivation, to connect the dots, to think of innovative solutions, and to collaborate on their execution.

From creating responsible supply chains, reducing production waste, and creating inclusive language policies, our Ambassadors create tangible business impact that is aligned with the organization’s strategic goals and mission.
