IPED Presents: Leaders of Tomorrow St. Gallen Symposium

Come learn how to win a free trip to Switzerland to participate in the 51st St. Gallen Symposium!

The St. Gallen Symposium is the world’s leading initiative for cross-generational debates on economic, political, and social developments—completely organized by students. The global essay competition provides graduate and postgraduate students with an opportunity to share their points of view at the conference. Of this year’s 100 selected participants, who are invited to an all-expenses-covered trip to Switzerland, the top three entrants from the essay competition have the unique opportunity to present their ideas in front of a world-renowned audience and share the grand prize, equivalent to $21,400. The topic of the symposium, scheduled for May 5 to May 6 at the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland, is “Collaborative Advantage.”

In past years, the symposium has welcomed such distinguished participants as Christine Lagarde, president of the European Central Bank; Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba Group; and Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft.
