There are just three weeks to go until the second instalment of the annual festival of powerful youth ideas and drive.
"There's literally almost no time left," Luminosity chair Kate Wood-Foye said. "And we really don't want people to miss out because they've waited until the last minute."
Those wanting to attend need to apply and pay by close of business on July 10.
The pressure was on organisers to come up with another stellar line-up following the success of their inaugural event in 2013.
Needless to say, the Luminosity team have not disappointed with inspirational speakers from creative, humanitarian, academic and health fields set to light up the Glasshouse over three days.
Andrew Morello, the endlessly exuberant winner of television's The Apprentice, will return as MC and is bringing with him a swag of talent.
The ARIA-winning talents of Jonathan Notley and Tarik Ejjamai - from hugely popular hip hop trio Bliss n Eso - are certain to delight music fans of all ages, particularly given the inspirational message of how their band mate Max MacKinnon recently overcame a 10 year battle with alcoholism.
Stephanie Lorenzo is the founder of Project Futures, an organisation which raises awareness and funds to battle human trafficking and sexual exploitation globally.
The essential part of her message, which Mrs Wood-Foye said will connect with audiences, is charity can be a fun and collaborative part of everyday life.
While the Luminosity chair admitted her inner music fan couldn't wait for Bliss N Eso, she was also very excited about the participation of urban developer Peter Kageyama and the 2013 Young Australian of the Year, Akram Azimi.
"He is an absolute brainiac of beautiful proportions who just has so much to teach us all," she said.
Mr Azimi arrived in Australia from war-torn Afghanistan in 1999 and has since mentored young Indigenous and non-Indigenous students in rural, remote and metropolitan Western Australia
"Just the variety of who we have coming along this year means everyone is really going to be blown away," Mrs Wood-Foye said. Registrations can be completed online at www.luminosityyouthsummit.com.au, where the print version can also be downloaded and posted to PO Box 2136, Port Macquarie.
