BOSTON— Harvard Business School (HBS) Executive Education today announced it will host the Global Alumni Leadership Summit, taking place on the HBS campus from August 24-26, 2016. Hosted exclusively for alumni of Harvard Business School’s comprehensive leadership programs, the Global Alumni Leadership Summit is a unique event for Executive Education classmates to reconnect with one another and program faculty, attend plenary and case study sessions hosted by world-class thought leaders and guest speakers, and share ideas and insights as part of a global HBS community. “Participants of our comprehensive leadership programs experience a positive inflection point in their careers as the result of world-class faculty and curriculum, a diverse mix of executives, and a campus experience unique to HBS,” said Frances X. Frei, UPS Foundation Professor of Service Management and Senior Associate Dean for Executive Education at Harvard Business School. “We often find that this inflection point extends even further to impact how alumni reflect on their personal lives. We’re honored and humbled to have alumni reunite on campus for the Global Alumni Leadership Summit to share experiences and return with fresh ideas, ready to drive meaningful change within their organizations.” Led by Professsor Das Narayandas, Senior Associate Dean for External Relations and Harvard Business Publishing, the Global Alumni Leadership Summit coincides with a pivotal time of development within the HBS campus.
