Stern Summit

Sponsored by:

The Stern Summit on Global Business is a leading undergraduate business conference that brings together students from across the country to discuss timely global and domestic business topics.  The Summit attracts top speakers from corporations, government agencies and academia. These experts share their insights and experiences with the Summit's attendees -  including their predictions for the future of global business.

Conference participants have the opportunity to meet other students from leading business programs across the nation, network with top business professionals and gain insight into topics relevant in today's ever-changing business environment.

Last year's theme was The Disappearing Third World: A Paradox of Growth and examined the increasing divergence between developing nations that have flourished economically in recent years, and those that have failed to reap the benefits of globalization. A series of unique and timely issues were discussed - ranging from emerging trends in social entrepreneurship to political economy and the impact of globalization. The keynote speaker and panel discussions provided attendees with a broader understanding of the relationship between business and the developing world.

The Summit is organized by a student committee in conjunction with the Office of International Programs.
