BAY is one of the first public speaking competitions to be organised in the Mekong Delta Region, Southern Vietnam. BAY provides a platform for young students to choose their standpoints about many controversial issues and brainstorm a logic argument to verify their point of view in a formal format of public speaking. The topics of debating were highly critical and on-the-trend with Vietnamese public attention.

ELITE TALKS INC. is a non-profit organisation registered in 2015 with the Government of Victoria, Australia. We organise activities and annual forums for the youth community, aiming to support and facilitate experience-sharing among young adults.

Our value: “Conversation creates Possibilities”.

Our mission: “Creating a platform for sharing all stories with warmth”.

 

ELITE TALKS invites guests with great leadership, mainly focusing on direct conversation. The panel is set up in formal and professional but friendly and discussion oriented environment. Each participant has the opportunity to directly ask questions and discuss with the guests. All conversations are face-to-face in an open manner, which is a great opportunity to learn from each other’s experience and knowledge.

Guest speakers at ELITE TALKS forums consist of people of leading positions in banking and investment industry, successful young business owners as well as other high-profile individuals from diverse fields such as education, news and media, architecture and social works. Through their stories, we hope to communicate positive values, share experience, provide networking opportunities and inspire the younger generation to strive for their dream.
