What happens when an educational tour meets a three-day global leadership conference?

Talking to strangers leads to making friends, fast. Raising your voice is encouraged. And in the process of discussing global challenges, students start gaining the tools they need to solve them. Because when perspective transfers between people, it sparks something greater—and that electricity is what fuels every EF Global Leadership Summit.


Everything you never imagined




The world is changing faster than ever before. The future’s brightest opportunities and top careers might not even exist yet—and the same goes for its challenges. So, what can we do today to prepare for tomorrow’s infinite possibilities? Join us at our 2025 Global Leadership Summit on Future Readiness in a Changing World, where we’ll explore the life skills, education, and career planning people need to thrive in an ever-evolving landscape—and how we can make these necessities more accessible to everyone. Together, we’ll discover ways to help people prepare for the future and shape an even better one, for themselves, their communities, and the world.

Water’s role in society goes far deeper than simple hydration. From the tiniest bacteria to the largest blue whale, there isn’t a single organism on earth that can survive without it. And although water touches almost every aspect of our daily lives, have we realized its full potential? Join us at EF’s 2024 Global Leadership Summit to discover The Impact of Water on Society. Let’s dive in to better understand water’s influence on transportation, agriculture, energy, and more. Together, we’ll explore ways to harness this fundamental resource to make a bigger difference around the world.

Fueled by a common belief that in order to change the world you need to experience it, EF and the Nobel Prize Museum have partnered together to inspire students to pursue bold goals and think differently. The winning projects from each of our Global Leadership Summits are exhibited in the Nobel Prize Museum (alongside the work of Nobel Laureates) in Stockholm, Sweden!
