The Launchpad for Tomorrow’s Leaders
The Leaders Summit is ISLD’s signature international leadership experience—a dynamic, city-to-city conference series that prepares the next generation of leaders to think globally, lead ethically, and innovate boldly.
From programs in Vienna to Kuala Lumpur, and now in the United States, The Leaders Summit is more than an event—it’s a movement of future-forward leaders collaborating to solve the world’s most pressing challenges with empathy, intelligence, and action.
Each summit brings together a powerful mix of speakers, interactive workshops, real-world simulations, and global networking opportunities, all within an immersive 3-day experience.

- 💡 Leadership & Artificial Intelligence
- 🌐 Diplomacy, Global Citizenship & SDGs
- ⚖️ Ethics, Equity & Inclusive Innovation
- 📣 Influence, Storytelling & Policy Advocacy
