A global summit brings together leaders from government, business and civil society to discuss the most pressing issues facing humanity. These gatherings help foster new relationships, tackle emerging challenges and reframe conversations to build the world we want.
The G20 is a global forum for the world’s major economies and emerging powers. Its members are Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Its members meet each year to discuss key global economic policy and development issues.
Its most recent meeting, in Kananaskis, Canada in 2025, focused on tackling global policy challenges like the Iran-Israel conflict and the complex U.S-China relationship, but a lack of a final joint communique highlighted deep divisions among the membership on major international issues.
Speakers at a Global Summit can range from political leaders and thought-leaders to renowned authors and celebrities. Past events have featured keynotes from U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, renowned conservationist Robert Irwin, and more. Attendees can view these powerhouse speakers live on stage as studio audience participants and enjoy an electric atmosphere that is replicated across the globe through a simulcast experience at over 400+ host sites worldwide. They can also network with other attendees, purchase exclusive merchandise and engage with speakers at book signings.
