Theme: Just YOLO

“You Only Live Once” is the origin of the term YOLO. How would you see your life if you knew you only had one chance? Is it black or white, or do you have different colors to see it? YOLO can be interpreted as your way of seeing and living this one life. So, what is everyone's priority in this life? Is it popularity, happiness, success, or something else that you never thought of before? Everyone has a different meaning in living life. Seeing the meaning of life from various perspectives will enrich us in living our only life once.

We hope you found inspiration, gained valuable insights, and connected with like-minded individuals who share your passion for ideas worth spreading.This will be a day filled with even more captivating talks, outstanding performances and amazing art exhibitions that dive deeper into the themes that matter most to you.
