Additionally, the committee has managed to secure two exciting and influential figures as keynote speakers for the event:

1. Yang Mulia Awang Hj Md Rozan bin Dato Paduka Hj Md Yunos – As the Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Development, he is a key figure within the government administration and serves as a driving force in the development of the country.

2. Yang Mulia Dr Hj Omar bin Hj Khalid – As the Vice-Chancellor to the Institute Technology of Brunei (ITB), he  leads an increasingly important an increasingly important institution, especially with its recent establishment as a full fledged university.  ITB is a key factor in ensuring the development of a technically inclined work force.

We also have some other prominent individuals that will be attending the Symposium as guests. The University of Brunei Darussalam (UBD) will be sending Professor Tong Chee Kiong, Special Academic Advisor for UBD and Dr Hjh Mona Dato Paduka Hj Kassim, Deputy Director Institute of Leadership Innovation and Advancement.
