This week, from today until October 25th, more than 2,000 delegates from across 190 countries will arrive in Westminster, for the annual One Young World summit. This high-profile, prestigious event brings together the next generation of global leaders to learn from and be inspired by leading voices from across the political, business and humanitarian landscape, including former Secretary General of the United Nations, Ban Ki-Moon, Co-Founder of Twitter, Biz Stone, the Duchess of Sussex, and artist and activist, Bob Geldof.
As activation partner in One Young World’s Lead 2030 initiative, the first global business coalition focused on supporting youth-led entrepreneurs who are developing solutions tied to the UN Sustainable Development goals, Porter Novelli will be on-site throughout the conference and spotlighting both the corporate partners and the inaugural Lead 2030 grant winners.
Porter Novelli will also host its own, celebratory Lead 2030 event on Wednesday evening at our London office, which a host of One Young World delegates, corporate partners and senior leaders from BMW, Deloitte, Bristol-Myers Squibb, AstraZeneca, Credit Suisse, KPMG and Reckitt Benckiser (RB) will join. Porter Novelli and Omnicom’s EMEA and global leaders will celebrate the partnership to-date and we’ll hear directly from several grant winners.
