There will be interactions, mental quiz, soul searches, intermittent heaves of nostalgia, networking, brainstorming sessions, relaxation and solicitation for us all to be mindful of not crushing the tender flowers of humanity; to keep hope alive and to lend a voice to the plight and yearning of the leaders of tomorrow.
