 Chandran Nair, Global Institute for Tomorrow;

 Dr Douglas Reeves, The Leadership and Learning Centre;

; and Monique Seefried, Former Chair of the IB Board of Governors.

To exemplify learners as leaders, IB students and alumni have also participated in the strands, lead presentations, and have permanent exhibitions on display throughout the conference.

IB staff also played key roles, not just in presentations, but also in strand participation.

This broad spectrum of participation intended to establish a diverse IB learning community.
