Summit Laboratory Sessions
All attending MBAs will have the chance to conduct their own experimental 45-min lab session (SLS) as a „speaker“, designed to inspire their fellow participants and incite intense discussion. All „speakers“ have complete control over the creative direction of their proposed topics (e.g. lecture/speech incl. Q&A or workshop, etc.)
The SLS are a great way to share knowledge, experience & passion, but also to raise awareness on particular subjects from social responsibility to environmental protection to economic sustainability. Participants grapple with current issues such as how artificial intelligence and blockchain technology are transforming our economic system, how climate change is threatening our environment, how cybercrime is influencing businesses and societies, how diversity and inclusion can be promoted in companies, and how the energy transition can be advanced to protect our planet.
The „speaker“ with the highest ranked Summit Laboratory Session (SLS) will be granted with the Tim-Eisenmann-Award to honor the summits most inspiring voice. All attendees will vote live at the MBA World Summit for their most favorite and inspiring SLS.
Hence the MBA World Summit provides you with a platform to develop concrete ideas that have a positive impact on our world.
