MPAC’s Expanded 2013 Young Leaders Summits
Washington, DC: Have you ever wondered what it would be like to spend a day in the shoes of a Hollywood producer, a journalist covering breaking news in a war-torn country, a representative voting on a major piece of legislation or a high-tech entrepreneur who just started their own business?, asks an MPAC press release. It adds: Apply for our expanded 2013 Young Leaders Summits, and you will get that chance and much more.
The 2013 MPAC Young Leaders Summits in Hollywood, Media, Government and Silicon Valley are an opportunity for aspiring and passionate undergraduate, graduate and young professionals to gain access to the nerve centers shaping our society and learn how they can make an impact in these areas. Our delegates at each of the four summits will spend several days in an industry intensive program that will expose them to the different aspects of government, Hollywood, media and entrepreneurship.

In 2013, we will kick off our inaugural Silicon Valley Summit, which is the latest addition to our Young Leaders Program. The program will highlight the power of technology as an influential nerve center in American decision-making and opinion-shaping, and it will help delegates explore how technology leaders gain and leverage their influence in their industry and beyond. Summit participants will learn the science and art of technology in order to help them develop personal skills and networking in the field.
