SPOTLIGHT ON INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

APPLY TO BE A SPEAKER

Future Forte invites you to step into the Spotlight on International Students 2025, happening this November in Melbourne!

Spotlight on International Students 2025 aims to provide an empowering and inclusive platform where international students can share personal stories, transformative moments, and actions that inspire change. It builds on the success of Future Forte’s Conference "Spotlight" segment, expanding it into a stand-alone event that centers the lived experiences of international students.

We want to hear your voice!

We invite all international students to take part by sharing your ideas on a topic relevant to your field or your personal journey in a 5-minute TED Talk-style presentation. If selected, you'll be paired with a public speaking mentor to help you prepare for your moment in the spotlight.

Join us in shaping conversations, celebrating diversity, and inspiring change!
