During the conference, Young Leaders have access to all “regular” conference sessions and workshops – plus exclusive programme and networking options specifically tailored to their needs. The aim of the programme is to get ambitious young CityChangers involved in the discussion about how our cities of the future should and will look like. We’re creating exclusive programme options that will push you and inspire you. These will provide you with a head full of new perspectives and a strong network for whatever career path you have chosen.

These are discussions in small groups of 6-8 attendees. In very “honest” and personal sessions, community-, business-, and city leaders share very unique experiences (eg. of being a politician). This is your chance to bug them with your burning questions. In these sessions, there’s a strong focus on individual experiences, skills, motivation, and how to deal with frustrations along the way.

We’re giving you exclusive networking options at the conference – for example at the official VIP and speakers’ reception – and will make sure that you get enough presence during the conference days: we want all conference participants to know who you are and to get to know you! This is your chance to get connected to almost 3,000 CityChangers!
