The Global Perspectives Speaker Series features accomplished international thought leaders who have made a global impact through evolutionary and even revolutionary advancements in their fields. These experts seek to engage with others on complex challenges and work with communities to turn desires and ideas into meaningful actions.
- Founded upon hosting authoritative and influential leaders whose ideas, innovations, and connections are recognized around the world.
- Delivered through speaking events, seminars, and informal conversations, leaders and participants explore issues that are important on the global level while having a relevant local connection.
- Fundamentally inclusive and equitable experiences that welcome all, honour diversity, and treat individuals fairly and respectfully.
- Targeted towards enhancing our understanding of the world, alerting us to change and its impacts, and mapping out paths to resilience and a thriving future.
