The Global Engagement Summit (GES) is a five-day conference that brings together student delegates from around the world and equips them with tangible skills to develop and implement meaningful social ventures. Our annual Summit provides these young entrepreneurs with professional mentorships, capacity-building workshops, influential speakers and tangible takeaway resources, as well as the opportunity to establish long-lasting connections with like-minded students and industry experts.

In the past 15 years, more than 800 delegates from over 60 countries have participated in the Summit. Delegates congregate in Chicago to learn how to develop ideas, understand the challenges and opportunities for social engagement and hone their skills to enable them to better implement change-based projects.

GES aims to build the capacity of the next generation of global change leaders. We are a completely student-organized and student-run organization. Our staff consists of 60 Northwestern undergraduate students who work year-round to develop a dynamic conference curriculum and offer year-round opportunities for project support, including internship experiences, media exposure and funding prospects through partnerships with groups like the Buffett Institute, Indiegogo, Watson University and many others.
