Lisbon, Portugal

The annual November conference, the largest and most comprehensive of its kind in the world, attracts over 1600 participants who are teachers, heads of school, guidance counselors and college admissions personnel. There are over two hundred guest speakers during the three days of presentations and a major exhibition by school suppliers and publishers.

Our keynote speakers will be:

Hans Rosling

Hans Rosling co-founded Gapminder Foundation with his son and daughter in-law. Gapminder promotes a fact based world view by converting the international statistics into moving, interactive, understandable and enjoyable graphics. Using animations of global trends, Hans lectures about past and contemporary economic, social and environmental changes in the world and he produces thematic videos using the same technique. His award-winning lectures on global trends have been labeled “humorous, yet deadly serious” and many in the audience realize their own world view is lagging many decades.

Hans Rosling is professor of International Health at Karolinska Institutet, the medical university in Stockholm, Sweden. When working as a young doctor in Mozambique he discovered a previously unrecognized paralytic disease that his research team named Konzo. His 20 years of research on global health concerned the character of the links between economy and health in Africa, Asia and Latin America. He has been adviser to WHO and UNICEF, co-founded Médecines sans Frontiers in Sweden and started new courses and published a textbook on Global Health. He is a member of the International Group of the Swedish Academy of Science and of the Global Agenda Network of the World Economic Forum in Switzerland.

Steve Smith

Steve Smith is a veteran of four space flights covering 16 million miles and seven space walks totalling 49 hours and 25 minutes. Smith’s spacewalk time places him sixth in the top ten of the all-time American and World spacewalk dution lists. He joined NASA in 1989 in the Mission Operations Directorate. As a payload officer, his duties included pre-flight payload integration and real-time flight controller support in Mission Control. He was selected as an astronaut candidate by NASA in 1992 and then completed one year of astronaut candidate training. In 1993, Steve became the first member of the 1992 astronaut class to receive a flight assignment and was also assigned to duties at the Kennedy Space Center for a year and a half as a member of the astronaut support team. The team was responsible for Space Shuttle pre-launch vehicle checkout, crew ingress and strap-in prior to launch, and crew egress post landing. After STS-103, he served as the Deputy Chief Astronaut for a year.

Steve served as a mission specialist aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour on Mission STS-68 where his responsibilities were split between Shuttle systems and Space Radar Lab 2. He was one of two crewmen trained to perform a space walk had one been required and performed three space walks as a member of the 1997 STS-82 Discovery crew which serviced the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). As the lead spacewalker of the 2002 STS-110 Atlantis crew which installed the SO (S-Zero) Truss on the International Space Station, Smith performed two of the flight’s four space walks. He currently serves as the NASA International Space Station Program Liaison to the European Space Agency.

Liv Arnesen

In November 2012, Liv Arnesen and Ann Bancroft will lead a team of six women, from six continents, on an 800 mile, 80-day long expedition to the South Pole. Each of the women will be representing the key water challenges on their continent and their journey will be the centerpiece of a global awareness and outreach program. The expedition will embrace worldwide media coverage, the global classroom and conscious business partnerships to create awareness of the critical water crisis and to encourage a move to action on global and local levels. The project is designed to complement the efforts of international conservation organizations, institutions, government and enterprises on this vitally important subject. This project will make a determined effort to engage with youth by means of technology and a tailored educational methodology and curriculum.

Liv Arnesen’s rich life experiences, both on and off the ice, have made her an internationally recognized leader and role model for women and girls. In 1994 Liv made international headlines by becoming the first woman in the world to ski solo and unsupported to the South Pole. Some of her other major accomplishments include climbing the north side of Mount Everest to within 6,200 ft of the summit before being forced to descend by altitude sickness and in 2001, with Ann Bancroft becoming the first women in history to sail and ski across Antarctica’s landmass. The Liv Arnesen Foundation is a non-profit organization, formed to increase awareness about the climate and the importance of cross-cultural communication.
