Dear partners, AIESEC Alumni, AIESECers, family and friends It is a great honor and privilege for AIESEC Thailand, the conference team, and me to be the host of one of the most important events in AIESEC Asia Pacific, Asia Pacific Leaders Summit 2015. This summit is also a big step for AIESEC in Thailand to take since this is the first international conference we host in past 20 years.

YouthSpeak Forum was started by YouthSpeak Survey which asks youth on the world issue and future goals that they concern. We got 40,000 responses from youth over 100 countries and territories. Additionally, we gather more than 10,000 surveys are from youth in Asia Pacific in 2014. YouthSpeak Forum then was created to be a space for youth to come together and discuss on social issues then come up with the social project to address the issue from their perspectives. After the forum, AIESEC, as a youth representative, will take these ideas forward to implement as social projects.
