April 2024
Emerging Markets Summit is the largest student-led conference at Chicago Booth. Emerging Markets Summit is a platform for professionals and students to learn and discuss about emerging markets.
As we adapt to the post-pandemic world, emerging markets continue to adapt and remain resilient despite global supply chain constraints, an inflationary environment, rising geopolitical tensions and the possibility of deglobalization. Aptly, this year's summit is themed "Emerging Markets - 2024 and Beyond ... Evolving Market Landscapes." As we get ready for the new world order, emerging markets stand poised to transform uncertainty into opportunity, advancing their roles in the global economy and, in the process, helping to shape the balance of global power.
With their favorable demographic outlook, thirst for innovation, and growing ability to leapfrog past old systems, emerging markets will play a critical role in tackling these global challenges, while leveraging their own unique strengths to do so. Join us at this year's summit as leaders from both the public and private sectors gather for a series of conversations to identify these unique strengths.
