The Global Youth Conference 2014 theme, “Inspiring Global Leaders of Tomorrow” is a timely and strategic platform to prepare our young minds to kick-start their journey as future leaders in the global community. Essentially, the two and a half-day conference is tailor-made as an avenue for like-minded student leaders to participate in a series of forums, talks and dialogues that will enhance their readiness to join the global market as productive contributors. Student leaders from universities across Malaysia can look forward to being equipped with relevant skills and aptitudes, particularly in the areas of leadership, global entrepreneurship and youth volunteerism. Experienced speakers and innovators are invited to share their expertise to broaden the students’ spectrum in becoming versatile leaders of the global market. At the same time, the Conference provides unique opportunities for students to establish global connections for knowledge sharing and networking. This conference is organised by the International Student Services of Taylor’s University with the support of Student Affairs and Development Division of the Ministry of Education Malaysia and Secretariat HEP-IPTS.
