Humanity is in a process of evolution. Differences between generations grow increasingly. On the other side, today minimum three different generations have to live and work together. Change is progressing much faster!  The common basic concern in all over the world and at any age is the future!

In our country of which 60% of the population is under 30 years old and most of the population is "young", the Young Summit, which will take place for the first time to inform youngsters preparing themselves to the future, will discuss the main topic: "How will be the future?: Discover your future!". Human, business and technology will be focused under the main topic.


Issues to be discussed at the Young Summit

  • What is going to happen in the fields, which we call human and business?
  • How should young people, institutions and educators prepare themselves to the future?
  • What is the opinion of futurists, visionaries? How will information technologies shape the future?

All the answers to these questions will be given at the Young Summit through conferences and workshops with the support of M-GEN Future Planning Center and Turkish Informatics Foundation together with the cooperation of Dale Carnegie Turkey, Istanbul Digital Culture and Arts Foundation and Turkish Futurists Association.
