The Global Leadership Summit is an annual 2-day leadership event, frequently described by guest attendees as a firehose of fresh, actionable leadership content. Telecast LIVE in HD from Chicago, and boasting 33 years of success, it has grown from 2000 global leaders to more than 400,000 leaders worldwide with over 400 premier sites in North America and another 1500 overseas.
Sponsored by the Global Leadership Network (GLN), its aim is to enrich communities through cutting-edge leadership trends and actionable leadership skills.
Each year a carefully curated world-class faculty representing business, government, education, faith and entertainment sectors, takes to the stage to inspire and equip audience members to increase their leadership influence. Prior faculty have included previous United States presidents and cabinet members, NY Times best-selling authors, Harvard researchers, CEOs, pastors, educators, artists, musicians, and more.
Attracting an audience that represents various industries, including marketplace, non-profit, healthcare, education, government, ministry and corrections, the GLS has become a unique platform, unlike any other, bringing people together to not only empower better leadership within the organizations they represent, but in a growing number of cases around the world, it has also become a catalyst for organic local movements initiating systemic, city-wide change. Inspiring leaders who range in age from youth to seasoned adults, what started as a single event back in 1992, has grown to attract hundreds of thousands of people each year.
