Student Global Leadership Conference
In a hybrid format: Live in London and online from around the world
Presented by FIE: Foundation for International Education
APRIL 1 - 2, 2022
LEADING BY EXAMPLE: MAKING A SOCIAL IMPACT
According to ‘The Millennial Impact Report’ (2019) current and future employees and generations believe that all assets are equal, are passionate about issues, are everyday change-makers, believe in activism, value collective actions, and support the greater good’.
Millennials and Generation Z have been able to unite around passions and causes in large numbers, thanks to social media and technology.
Employers continue to search for ways to engage Millennials and Generation Z to successfully attract, hire, and retain them. On the other hand, organizations are increasingly recognizing the importance of making an impact beyond financial benefits and profit. Corporate social responsibility is not just a tick-box exercise but also every employers and employees’ duty. Colleagues working together and embracing a company’s ethos and values is beneficial to its culture and the community at large.
FIE’s sixth Student Global Leadership Conference will explore how leaders and organizations fulfill, or not, their social mission and responsibility, while challenging and empowering modern leaders to not only lead by example but also make a social impact.
SGLC is an event for students and delegates from across the world to explore how they can become better leaders and think about leadership in a new way.
The Student Global Leadership Conference is an opportunity to challenge yourself, delve into your leadership aspirations, and connect with others who want to make a difference.
The Student Global Leadership Conference 2022 will take place LIVE IN LONDON and ONLINE!
The Student Global Leadership Conference has been hosted by FIE: Foundation for International Education since 2013. It was developed to bring people together who feel as passionate as we do about sustainability, diversity &inclusivity, social justice, and human rights. We believe that by inspiring and empowering YOU - the change makers of the future – can all enjoy a better tomorrow. Join us to make it happen!

How will the hybrid event work?
When the annual Student Global Leadership Conference was shuttered in 2020, FIE pivoted quickly to a free online-only event for 2021. Over 500 students, university staff, faculty, and professionals from across the globe registered to attend, with access to the conference available like never before during a time of unprecedented travel and social restrictions.
As safety measures have eased, we are delighted to return to our roots as an in-person conference in London. However, working patterns, conferencing, and virtual expectations have all changed throughout the pandemic and we want to continue to offer an online conference experience for those who can't travel to us.
The in-person conference held at the Royal Geographical Society in London will include:
- Keynote speakers
- Panel discussion
- Three conference sessions from a choice of options
- Drinks and canape networking reception (Friday) and lunch (Saturday)
- Morning tea and coffee, and refreshment breaks (Saturday)
The online-only event will be a livestream of the conference sessions happening in London,
with the ability to record and watch through a password protected login (such as Zoom) including:
- Panel discussion
- Up to three conference sessions
There will be two different pricing structures - one for the live, in-person event in London and one for online-only access.
Delegates are responsible for their own travel costs (airfare, visas, travel related COVID testing) and accomodation to / in London for the in-person event. Some meals and refreshments are provided during the in-person event over the two day conference (canape reception, lunch, coffee/tea breaks).
We hope you can join us either online or in-person for SGLC 2022.
