Uniting World Leaders and The Most Innovative Young Minds
On Saturday evening, the Kairos Summit brought together 500 of the nation’s most impressive students with some of the world’s greatest leaders to celebrate and inspire the growth of young entrepreneurship in areas of entrepreneurship that will define our future. The gala was held on the newly renovated USS Intrepid aircraft carrier.
For each of the six categories, two industry leaders presented an award for their vast achievements in their field after which they shared their take on the opportunities for the next generation of entrepreneurs in each particular field. The night was about the speakers giving back and sharing their advice with the next generation of successful entrepreneurs.
The gala was designed to enable and inspire talented 18-22 year-olds to live up to their potential and overcome the risks associated with entrepreneurship. We are extremely fortunate to live in a country where we have the freedom to be innovative and entrepreneurial. We owe this freedom to our forefathers and the men and women who have given their lives in service to our country. For this reason, we were honored to host this event on the USS Intrepid, a symbol of this freedom.
