One Young World 2024 Montréal
The next One Young World Summit will take place in Montréal (Tiohtià:ke), Canada, in September 2024. Montréal is a vibrant and multicultural city, known for its rich history, culture, and innovation.

Montréal is the perfect place to host the One Young World Summit, as it offers a diverse and inspiring environment for young leaders to connect, learn, and collaborate.
The One Young World Opening Ceremony is the official kick-off of the Summit, where delegates are welcomed by the host city and the One Young World Counsellors, who are prominent leaders from various fields. The Opening Ceremony in 2024 will take place at the iconic Bell Centre, the largest ice hockey arena in the world and the home of the Montréal Canadiens of the National Hockey League. It is located in the heart of downtown Montréal and is known for its state-of-the-art production technology making it an ideal place to showcase the talent and diversity of the One Young World Community. The Opening Ceremony will feature a spectacular show with live music, performances, speeches, and a flag ceremony, where delegates will proudly represent their countries and regions.
The Summit will take place at the Palais des Congrès de Montréal, a carbon-neutral building that implements various initiatives to reduce its environmental footprint, such as responsible sourcing, waste management, and community engagement. The Palais des Congrès is also located in the centre of downtown Montréal, close to many attractions, restaurants, and public transportation options. All the hotels that are part of the One Young World accommodation package are within walking distance from the Palais des Congrès, making it highly sustainable and convenient for delegates to travel between venues.
