Meet our 2015 Delegate Speakers

The Delegate Speakers for the One Young World Summit in Bangkok have been selected. Delegate Speakers play a significant role in the Summit as each Speaker will deliver a five minute speech during one of the six Plenary Sessions. These 31 young leaders have been selected through a competitive process for which 500 people have applied.

Unlike traditional conferences, One Young World opens up its platform to young delegates. Delegate Speakers are an inspirational group who present their impactful work and personal stories on the global stage. They are a truly international cohort. Speakers at previous Summits came from every continent, sharing their experiences, views and opinions with the Summit and the watching world.
