What is the Global Leadership Conference (GLC)?

For decades, EO’s Global Leadership Conference (GLC) has played a critical
role in defining leadership paths, serving as a stage for success and significance
within the EO ecosystem.

GLC is the organization’s flagship event and empowers Member Leaders with
the tools, knowledge, and networks they need to excel in their new Chapter
Leadership roles. Alongside leadership training, GLC provides a moment for
members from across the world to engage with thought leaders, make life enhancing connections with other members, and unleash their potential.

Why should I attend GLC?

You will have access to ground-breaking learning opportunities with thought
leaders, as well as opportunities to network with like-minded members through
MyEO Events, connect with businesses through EOxpo, and network one-on-one
in-person or through the Swapcard platform. Attendees also have the option to explore the incredible island of Oahu.

What is the format of GLC 2025? How will it be different to previous years?
GLC 2025 will be an in-person experience in Honolulu, Hawai’i. The three-day
event will offer in-person networking and learning experiences that help EO
members connect, develop and grow.
GLC will have Chapter Officer Training at its core. In 2025, that training will take
place over the course of two days and be designed for member leaders from
around the world who have volunteered to serve in a leadership capacity the
next year. That way, chapter board members can learn from their peers and be
fully prepared to deliver impact and value for their fellow members.
Why is there no virtual access to GLC 2025?
As an in-person organization, we are focused on investing all our resources into
in-person Chapter Officer Training, Learning and Connections. We hope that
you will be able to join us in-person to take advantage of the unique
opportunities that GLC provides.
