The future will be here faster than we think. A future where the only constant will be ongoing change at a constantly accelerated rate.

Are we ready? Are Israel and the Jewish People ready? Do we have, as individuals and as an international community, the tools to deal with such an unpredictable future?

Keren Hayesod – UIA is launching an exciting new initiative - the Forum - which aims to create the new generation of international Jewish leadership that will deal with the challenges of the future.

The Forum will bring together one hundred prominent business and communal leaders (age 25-50) from all around the world and Israel – who care about the future of Israel, the Diaspora and the relationship between them, and wish to get involved in a significant way as part of an elite international leadership group.

The three day conference which will take place on May 13–15, 2012 in San Francisco and Silicon Valley, will include an exciting, thought-provoking program with significant content, high caliber speakers, and an opportunity to network with a young international group.

The first day will examine the future of the world in general terms through the perspective of innovation and the concept of accelerated growth, focusing on the cutting edge technologies of Silicon Valley and Israel as a "Start-Up Nation". The second day will focus on the future of the Jewish People, Israel, the Diaspora, and the relationship between them, social responsibility and leadership.

Both days will include lectures, panels and roundtable discussions, where you will be able to express your ideas and brainstorm. The program will also include social elements with celebrities, special tours of the region, fun evening activities and an opportunity for social networking with high tech and local business people.

We truly believe that this new and exciting initiative has the potential of shaping the future of the Jewish People and we hope that you will be able to join us.
