SHINE NOW 2019 – Organised by Gushcloud and powered by the National Youth Council, the 2-day "unconference" was put together by a team of passionate individuals who wanted to have a conference that did not come across as intimidating. Basically, think TED Talk but in an entirely chill and informal setting with bean bags aside from the usual seating arrangement.
Through the various panel talks, keynote sessions and workshops, the SHINE NOW aimed to encourage youths to step out of their comfort zones and connect with people that inspire them. Reason being, through a prior conducted survey among their targeted audience it was found that youths were not confident about chasing their dreams and were not keen to attend conferences due to its intimidating nature.
