This year, Kairos is bringing together some of the world’s most influential and globally impactful leaders to meet a select group of the world’s most innovative and entrepreneurial students. Aboard the former USS Intrepid Aircraft Carrier, these leaders will address the importance of the future generation of global leaders to work together on cutting edge innovation and ventures. Each of the leaders being honored represent the best in “Doing well by Doing Good”. They will share their inspiring stories while guiding these carefully selected students in identifying emerging opportunities, developing their own innovative ideas, and implementing them throughout the world to leave a lasting impact.
