As reported here on Street Editors in July, the annual Brightest Young Minds (BYM) Summit was held in Sydney, hosting 100 of the nation’s emerging leaders in creativity, technology, science, humanities, media and other sectors. Their task was to innovate and collaborate to develop eight new social innovation concepts in five exhausting days, with these ideas pitched to fellow delegates, sponsors and investors on the final night.
For some of these delegates, one of the more important items on the agenda is to raise funds for the BYM Foundation so it can continue its good work in sponsoring all delegates to attend the summit. So they have rallied together to offer their most valuable asset: the power of 10 bright young minds consulting for 10 hours each to the highest bidder. Offering this package through eBay, they are targeting anyone wanting to inject a bit of creativity into a business idea, attract a new generation of enthusiastic employees or help someone kick-start their own social entrepreneurship venture; all money raised in this venture will go back to the BYM Foundation.
If bidding on E-bay isn’t your style, but you would like to support Australia’s new generation of leaders, you can make a secure contribution online, or register to find out more about next year’s summit.
