25th Global Forum Theme:
The Future of Strategic Transformations, Leadership and Learning
The 25th in-person Global Forum
is in Dubai (UAE) from 20-23 March, 2022
It’s the first time we’re convening the Global Forum in this region for a variety of reasons, including its stringent protective measures against the spread of COVID-19. We also chose Dubai because of its (and the UAE’s) transformational agenda and it’s hosting of the inspiring World EXPO 2020.
This year’s Global Forum theme “The Future of Strategic Transformations, Leadership and Learning”, aligns fully with the World EXPO’s motto and our community of practice’s spirit: “Connecting minds and creating the future”
The Global Forum program includes a full day and evening at EXPO in facilitated and guided Learning Expeditions.
Theme: “What’s Ahead? The Post-Covid-19 Future”
Please count on joining us for an exciting and inspiring Virtual Event for GF community members and invited guests.
As you know, we’ve had to postpone this year’s face-to-face Global Forum again due to the pandemic. We trust that you and your families are well.
For 2022, ever mindful of our health and safety, we wish to meet once again together in person, and hope to announce the dates and location of the 25th Global Forum on the final day of the Virtual Event.
This year’s complimentary Virtual Event (VEVENT) will take place from June 14-16, and will have three sessions per day for an hour each from 07:00-10:00 EST with short breaks in between sessions.
GLOBAL FORUM-VIRTUAL ACTION LEARNING INTERNATIONAL DISCUSSIONS (VALID) Series
In response to the expressed desire by many of you to continue the learning and sharing of our unique international community of practice, the Global Forum Organizing Team has organized a series of virtual discussions that we are calling Virtual Action Learning International Discussions (VALID). These virtual discussions or VALIDs are with Global Forum community members who have offered to draw from their field of expertise and share their unique perspective of the future and our current dramatic global transformation. We hope to offer presentations to you a learning bridge to the next Global Forum (June) 13-15, 2022.
