Summit of Silicon ValleyWelcome to the Summit of Silicon Valley! Today we gather for a private retreat in the Santa Cruz Mountains to examine some of the most pressing issues facing the tech world. As leaders in the industry, we must ask ourselves: Where do social justice issues, such as gender equality, fit into the framework of our businesses? Should tech companies promote social justice or aspire to be apolitical? To what extent should tech companies influence or effect wider society? Each of us has the vision to lead innovate and creative companies; will we have the vision to resolve these issues collectively as representatives of the tech community, or will we fall out of synch with our customers expect of us?

Emergency European CouncilThe Emergency European Council is a specialized committee that begins in the beginning of 2018. In this scenario, delegates will have to decide how to provide proper care for the newly-arrived immigrants from the war-torn crisis still going on in the Middle East. In addition to this, delegates will have to figure out how to deal with the challenge of a suddenly rising far-right and far-left movement in Europe. Thereby forcing delegates to strike a balance between accepting conflicting view points and maintaining the liberal ideals that the European Union was founded on. Finally, the idea of NATO will be put into play as well as the potential for a unified, European military front to take on Putin's aggressive actions in the region. Such discussions will create an interesting dialogue for both staffers and delegates alike, and has real potential to answer complex questions that one may have on relevant issues such as these.
