WorldSkills Leaders' Forum: 'Much more than just a conference'

The WorldSkills Leaders' Forum is one of the pinnacle events of the WorldSkills International calendar. The Leaders' Forum was initiated as a unique and exclusive event offering interactive activities promoting innovation, inspiration and networking to all those with a stake in promoting high demand skills around the world. The forum provides an opportunity for participants to come together and listen to a world-class speaker address issues related to skills education, training, our skilled society and the future of technology.

The goal of the experience is to ensure that every person attending the event walks away with a full understanding of the WorldSkills movement, gains valuable knowledge, interacts with other leaders and has the opportunity to expand networks and share knowledge.
