“The 3rd WYF will be attended by influential global leaders, heads of state, young men and public figures,” according to the first press release issued by the WYF.
The 2019 forum will discuss new and urgent topics such as good security, climate change, and artificial intelligence.

The forum will tackle the fourth industrial revolution, artificial intelligence and BlockChain technology.
Moreover, the 2019 WYF agenda embraces other urgent topics such as women empowerment and their role in the society, along with arts and cinema.
