The conference, which addressed the consequences of migration on geopolitical crises worldwide and international socioeconomic developments, was attended by Bahçeşehir University (BAU) Chairman of the Board of Trustees Enver Yücel, Prof. Selçuk R. Şirin of New York University, Migration Policy Institute (MPI) Director Margie McHugh, Bill Canny, Executive Director at the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, and Isra Chaker, Advocacy and Social Assistance Coordinator at the Syrian Support and Development Organization, as well as many Turkish and American academics and members of the press.

Speaking about migration movements around the world, Bahçeşehir University (BAU) Chairman of the Board of Trustees Enver Yücel said: "It is not only children and people who die at sea during migration; humanity is dying as well. We have developed technology, held the world in the palm of our hand, built roads and bridges; but we have failed to develop humanity, compassion, respect and a culture of living together."
