LCC Young Talents - Building the Future
For the first time ever, we’re welcoming 13 motivated and ambitious young talents from across the LCC network to the 2025 LCC General Assembly — free of charge. Representing countries such as Thailand, Cuba, Russia, Belgium, Germany, Austria, South Africa, and Brazil, these rising stars are under the age of 27 and were selected for their passion, experience, and potential to shape the future of our industry.
While the LCC General Assembly has traditionally been a platform for seasoned entrepreneurs, this year we’ve opened the doors to a new generation. By giving young professionals a voice, a stage, and a seat at the table, we’re inviting fresh ideas, new energy, and a direct connection to what lies ahead—because they are the future.
We believe it's not enough to simply talk about Gen Z and the next generation of travellers—as we’ve done at many LCC events in past years—we must actively engage with them. This initiative also fosters meaningful intergenerational exchange: by bringing together young talents and experienced industry leaders, we create a dynamic space where innovation meets experience. This cross-generational dialogue not only bridges gaps but sparks new perspectives and strengthens our global network for the years to come.
Many videos and applications were received and by 15 July the lucky draw chose these 13 candidates!
