The GEM Emerging Leaders Conference is an immersive experience where you will learn and grow together with your peers. The conference will feature multiple keynote addresses by successful and renowned speakers, experts researchers, and experienced professionals who will share their leadership stories, insights, and expertise. The sessions will focus on discussion and interaction where students learn with and from each other, deepening the learning and impact of the program. A significant amount of the program will be spent in small learning groups, where students will engage in dialogue, reflect on learnings together, share personal insights, and have an opportunity to build lasting relationships. There will also be opportunities for one-on-one coaching and mentorship.
