This year´s edition will once again be hosted by tech leader Binette Seck, and speaker sessions at A Taste of Brilliant Minds will offer 300 students and young adults from local communities across Stockholm the chance to experience some of the principles and thinking of the larger Brilliant Minds event. The series of panels and interviews on stage will share powerful stories of HumanKIND and moments of reflection, with inspiring conversations and opportunities to not only take a deeper look at the world around us, but also to look within, embrace our vulnerabilities, and embrace the strength of kindness and humanity.
While the main Brilliant Minds gathering remains a closed event – with speakers including Grammy-nominated artist Gracie Abrams, 7x Super Bowl Champion Tom Brady, Olympic swimmer and humanitarian Yusra Mardini, and bestselling author and Harvard professor Arthur Brooks, in attendance – a Taste of Brilliant Minds continues to be an on-record and open program, targeted at local communities, running parallel to the main event.
We are so excited to be able to offer young people the chance to be a part of Brilliant Minds – to hear from bold thinkers and inspiring innovators to better understand and connect through Swedish values, and to collaborate and share their own perspectives. It is our hope that the audience stand up and join the conversation and play their part in building a future rooted in humanity and kindness.
Want to join us? Now is your chance to apply for a spot at A Taste of Brilliant Minds – where ideas ignite, connections flourish, and future leaders are born.
