The Global Entrepreneurial Leadership (GEL) Forum is the flagship conference of the F.W. Olin Graduate School of Business, reinforcing Babson’s status as the global leader in Entrepreneurial Thought & Action®. This isn’t just a conference; it is a catalyst. We bridge the gap between classroom concepts and the boardroom by bringing together a diverse tapestry of C-suite executives, disruptive innovators, and aspiring leaders from across the globe.
For 2026, under the theme “Thriving in a Complex World,” we move beyond the narrative of navigating change to mastering it. On Friday, February 27, we converge to dismantle the challenges of a complex world. We are bringing together entrepreneurs and leaders from all walks of life to share their journeys, equipping you with the resilience to navigate the unpredictable and the insight to seize opportunity where others see only chaos.
We are providing a platform where the leaders of today will share their unfiltered journeys with the leaders of tomorrow, fostering a community dedicated to creating sustainable financial, social, and economic impact in an increasingly interconnected global ecosystem.
