About The Global Leadership Summit

For more than 30 years, The Global Leadership Summit has equipped and inspired leaders around the world to lead with greater courage, clarity, and impact.

In 2026, GLS returns as a powerful one-day leadership experience, bringing together world-class speakers, fresh ideas, practical tools, and thought-provoking conversations designed to help you grow.

Whether you lead in business, ministry, education, your community, or your home, this is a day to step away from the everyday, invest in your leadership, and leave encouraged and better equipped for what’s ahead.

One day. Fresh perspective. Greater impact.

Who Attends the GLS?

Year after year, the GLS has convened an audience across industry, faith, age, gender, and geography.

The leadership conference draws people from various backgrounds and sectors. Business leaders are learning from academics. Church leaders are learning from healthcare leaders. Not for Profit is learning from For Profit, and people of the Christian faith are learning from leaders with different faith perspectives. While the conference has Christian values at its core, it is open to anyone.

It is humility, curiosity, and the desire to learn from anyone that makes the Summit audience unique.
