Theme: Enlightenment

Enlightenment, also known as “the age of reason”, was the movement of intellectual reformation in the 18th century Europe. Our speakers will be from various fields, bringing diverse ideas to enlighten the audience. We value new ideas that change people’s lifestyle and perspective as much as the Enlightenment thinkers did.
