Admired for his innovative ideas and flair for growing businesses, Fernandes is often cited as Asia’s answer to Richard Branson.

They will also talk about the importance of activating young people globally.

Each of the six jury chairs will also address delegates in a president's address. The jury chairs include BBDO's David Lubars, R/GA's Bob Greenberg, AKQA's Rei Inamoto, Arc's Bill Rosen, Dentsu's Akira Kagami and Naked founder Jon Wilkins.
