There are a lot of events and summits that take place around the world. Creating leadership, inspirational speeches, entrepreneurship, and so much more are involved in the events. All of which aim for a better and brighter future.
But the Global Leadership Summit is a bit different. They started back in 1992 with the aim of bringing in speakers and leaders from different backgrounds as well as cultures.
This makes the diversity of the summit come to one mixing pot of ideas and endless possibilities. This year, the Global Leadership Summit 2024 is taking place in Singapore, the land of millions of possibilities and innovation.
So what is the main topic they are going to talk about? Why is it significant? Where should you register to attend the summit?
In this article, we’ll take you on a journey through the Global Leadership Summit 2024. We’ll talk about the famous leaders who will be there, the interesting things they’ll discuss, and how you can be part of it, either in person or online.
The Global Leadership Summit in 2024
The Global Leadership Summit 2024 (GLS24) is a mission of the Global Leadership Network to cultivate leaders worldwide through their nonprofit initiatives. This annual event converges ministry and marketplace experts, delivering dynamic speeches that challenge and inspire attendees.
In return, the expectation is to change the world by each individual attendee and their surroundings through them.
As there are different types of people all around us, the summit brings together pastors, best-selling authors, artists, professors, and also sports coaches to make it more diverse and energetic. This gives attendees the opportunity not only to connect with speakers from the same kind of background but also to experience other speakers and their ideas.
The motto of GLS24 is “Leadership with a Higher Purpose.” So, they are not only making or bringing out leaders inside an individual but giving a thorough insight on how to equip yourself with the tools and means around you to change the world.
As all of the speakers come from different backgrounds and experiences, they will share their successes as well as the struggles and hurdles they had to go through. As they have come forward to inspire people from within themselves, it is an event that is hard to miss.
The belief of being a leader is to think of a better future, something beyond that, and they encourage not only themselves with that but also the people around them by uplifting them. That is the main purpose of the GLS24.
GLS24 will cover a wide range of topics like Christianity, the purpose of business and marketing, entrepreneurship, life activity and focus, and how to empower people around you.
With all of this information, you would surely want to know the location and transportation to and from the summit. So, let’s look into that next.

Summit Agenda and Topics
The agenda of the Global Leadership Summit is in its name, bringing out potential leaders in every person.
While they are at it, they teach you how to be a leader with three key elements. These are your intentions, impactful thinking, and how you can inspire others.
The main aspects of topics vary from Christianity as a whole and thinking of each individual as Jesus himself. As Jesus leads His men to prosperity and success, the GLS24 also aims to stop and think with all the like-minded individuals.
With Jesus as the guide, it is time to refuel, refocus, and move on to the next phase of development. The summit not only focuses on religion but also involves evolving one to uplift others surrounding them.
This gives ground for technology, business, commerce, entrepreneurship, and many more fields. However, it’s a two (2) day summit, and the practical skills that the attendees will get will be life-changing for them.
Talking about speeches and leadership, let’s talk about the speakers themselves, as they are the ones who will be addressing different issues and topics.
Key Speakers and Presenters
A leadership summit is nothing without its speakers and presenters. This year, the GLS24 summit will have at least six prominent speakers. The list is not conclusive, as more speakers can join in later on.
Here are the key individuals who are going to present their speeches at the summit:
1. Craig Groeschel

He is also a best-selling author, making him a prominent speaker in his field and innovation.
2. Molly Fletcher

She not only represented the top faces of the sports world but also negotiated millions during that time. She is also the founder of Game Changer Performance Group and a best-selling author. If you are interested in influencing, negotiating, and building a career in any form or representing organizations or individuals, you shouldn’t miss her speech.
3. Amy Edmondson

Erwin McManus is an artist who has coached CEOs, celebrities, athletes, and global leaders on focusing on the vast possibilities by removing the inner limitations within us. Also, he is the pastor of Mosaic and a best-selling author.
Networking Opportunities
Leadership means not only guiding people to the goal but also communicating and building networks around the globe. The Global Leadership Summit 2024 is a place where people from all around the world will gather to witness the speakers and presenters, as well as create a network among themselves.
This creates a stage to meet new people, communicate with different backgrounds and industries, and learn new skills. At the same time, you can share your ideas, collaborate with different leaders, and get insight to overcome geographical boundaries.
As people from all over the globe gather under one roof sharing the same goal, you get to meet people with the same ideas and obstacles in their way. This gives you a platform to build a network among them and create solutions to different problems you face as a leader or an individual.
Apart from the speakers, attendees also can share their personal experiences at the root level, which encourages everyone. So it’s a gathering of ideas, wisdom, and overcoming hurdles together. There are millions of possibilities and doors that will unlock with one summit that does every year.
The Global Leadership Summit main campus also holds a Studio experience for their guests every year. This event brings in thousands of leaders from around the world who present their speeches live on stage. It is an opportunity for networking with a book signing and exclusive merchandise. Also, visiting Willow Creek Community Church in South Barrington, Illinois, where it all started, is something out of this world.
This year, it has come to Singapore. The best part is you are not only overcoming everything; you’re learning and sharing your own, too.
Conclusion
The truth to be told, the world runs on leadership. Even if we look back at our human history, there have been leaders everywhere in the world and in every event. The GLS24 is a testament that no border can enclose ideas and knowledge if used with a purpose and proper vision.
The summit also emphasizes that leadership is a skill to be built, not earned. Anyone can be a leader if they know how to. With proper leadership, any community and society can prosper under God’s kingdom.
To do that, incorporating the modern world, you have to hear stories, share ideas, and gather knowledge and network. What better place to do that than the Global Summit in Singapore?
