Muscat: One of the world’s youngest app developers and entrepreneurs will also be the youngest-ever speaker at a high-profile speakers’ forum, which will be held at the Ballroom of Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah from February 10 to 11.
Jordan Casey, 15, will not only be the youngest speaker at the .Open Minds forum, but is also perhaps the youngest speaker to address adult audiences in Oman, at least in recent history.
Casey is a teenage entrepreneur and a self-taught programmer from Ireland. He became one of Europe’s youngest iOS app developers when he released a mobile game Alien Ball vs Humans on the iTunes store, which went to the top on the iTunes charts.
Creative thinkers
Casey has been programming since he was a mere nine-year-old and today he is set to inspire the next generation of creative thinkers.
“Don’t let your age hold you back,” is a mantra that he often quotes at his speaking sessions.
The .Open Minds thought leadership forum will see top global speakers, including entrepreneur Chris Gardner, Princess Beatrice of York, Dutch football legend Ruud Gullit and other thought and change leaders.
The event is being presented by Areej Vegetable Oils and Derivatives (AVOD). Merge and Al Wisal are the radio partners and the Times of Oman and Al Shabiba are the media partners.
