This conference has three content tracks, framed around the key values articulated in the Singapore Pledge: progress and prosperity; happiness, justice and equality; and a democratic society. With the conference theme of “Reset”, we hope to explore what are the possible pathways for our nation after this period of uncertainty, as we plan and make decisions for the future.
Given the constraints but also the opportunities that the pandemic has surfaced for us all, the conference format will be unlike previous years. SP2021 will comprise nine online interactive forum discussions, and a final conference day event featuring in-person plenary sessions which will be broadcast to an online audience.
The nine online forum sessions will feature Senior Minister and Coordinating Minister for Social Policies Tharman Shanmugaratnam as well as international and Singaporean public intellectuals and civic leaders including Professors Tyler Cowen, Joel Kotkin, Margaret Heffernan, Jared Diamond and Ambassador Chan Heng Chee. The final conference day on 25 January 2021 will involve panel discussions with business leaders and representatives from the three political parties with representation in Parliament and will close with a final dialogue session with Minister of Education Lawrence Wong.
