Stefan Hyttfors will address future trends and disruptive change and highlight the ten things that will change the world and India this year.

Amal Clooney, who specializes in international law and human rights, will present the closing argument on the right to dissent and free speech in repressive regimes. She is married to actor George Clooney.

The congregation will also witness banter between two Punjabis as renowned Pakistani broadcaster and activist Reham Khan and Gul Panag, actor and activist, engage in a repartee on 'Line of Peace | Sisters under the skin, empowering women across borders'. Sheena Iyengar, a global management expert, will talk about how to choose right, in a session aimed at advising people on how to think better and make informed choices.

The India Today Conclave 2016 will also host sessions from global experts on terrorism. Three different points of view will be put forward as the conclave brings together an ISIS survivor, an ISIS journalist and a counter-terrorism expert to debate the current crisis of global terrorism. Daniel Rye Ottosen, a photographer and former ISIS hostage, Azadeh Moaveni, journalist and author of 'Lipstick Jihad' and Daniel Benjamin, a counter-terrorism expert, will discuss and debate war, terrorism, counter-terrorism and its impact on the world today.

Ottosen will give his first-hand account of surviving the ISIS and living to tell the tale, while Moaveni will talk about the very real threat posed by the Islamic State. Benjamin, the counter-terrorism expert, will discuss the role of the cyber world in countering terrorism. Ahmad Badr Ai-Din Hassoun, Grand Mufti of Syria, will provide in-depth details on the sight of the storm and share straight talks from Syria.

An entire session at the conclave will be dedicated to ISIS and terrorism. The debate will be brought to a conclusion with experts sharing their thoughts on the topic, 'ISIS Crossfire-Survive, Analyse, Combat'. The conclave aims to bring together the crème de la crème from across the globe, to ensure open exchange of thoughts, ideas and insights that could impact India today and the world tomorrow.
