Launching the #WWWeek Young professional speaker directory

We believe young professionals offer a unique and important perspective and the expertise to back it up.

This is why we have launched the Young professional speaker directory to help session convenors find qualified young professionals to serve as speakers, panellists, moderators or experts for their events.

We invite young professionals (18-35 years of age) to register in the speaker directory and connect with convenors seeking their expertise.
