Shaping the future, when the future is already here
The Guardian and Observer are launching a half-day forum, sponsored by the Rolex Awards for Enterprise, aimed at aspiring future leaders in the fields of science and health, applied technology, exploration, the environment, and cultural heritage. If you’re aged between 20-30 and can demonstrate a working interest in one or more of these areas, you could attend.
The Every Second Counts Forum takes place on the afternoon of Saturday 15 November at Kings Place, London and will celebrate the work of pioneering individuals who have helped to change the world, among them Sir Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web, and space scientist Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock.
These leaders in their respective fields will take to the stage to discuss the formative moments that have shaped their careers. In doing so they will aim to inspire our audience - the next generation of world changers - to realise that while anyone can change everything, to be successful you need to make the most of the time you have.
The event will be chaired by BBC journalist and broadcaster Samira Ahmed and will also include presentations from the five 2014 recipients of the Rolex Awards for Enterprise, all under 30, who will provide insight into the early stages of embarking on a career that will change the world for the better. There will be a cocktail and networking reception at the end of the day with a performance by musician and beatbox legend Beardyman.
