It was our pleasure to host Alfred Edmond Jr. at the conference this year for a special session on entrepreneurship. Alfred gave a remarkable speech, giving our 1000 delegates, from over 100 countries, excellent words of advice and motivation that left the room buzzing. Though largely known for his work in business in the US, Alfred’s long record of mentorship of entrepreneurs meant that his speech easily transferred to our audience of social entrepreneurs from around the world. Alfred also stayed behind afterwards to further engage one to one with some of the delegates, and his inspiration left many of them more confident than ever in their projects. It was our pleasure to work with Alfred, and we hope he will return to The Youth Assembly in the future.
