One Stage, One Spotlight, One Voice.
The Speakers’ Power Stage will host 5-minute Power Talks designed to inspire and inform. Located in the heart of the Fueling Station, Power Talks complement the panel conversations happening in plenaries and concurrent sessions through another powerful format – the single speech.
In order to build a diverse Speakers’ Power Stage program, we will choose a variety of presentation formats and topics each day – personal journeys, research findings, announcements, award ceremonies, innovations, and more. At least 20% of selected speakers will be young people under the age of 30.
