Details

Hosted by Chicago Booth, the Emerging Markets Summit stands as the premier student-led event bridging the gap between professionals and students with a keen interest in the dynamics of emerging economies.

As we navigate the complexities of a new decade, the global discourse is marked by a reconsideration of globalization amidst rising protectionism and geopolitical uncertainties. The urgency of global challenges, including the climate crisis, socioeconomic inequalities, and the digital revolution, calls for a unified approach to find sustainable solutions. Emerging markets, characterized by their vibrant demographics, innovative spirit, and agility in bypassing traditional constraints, are at the forefront of addressing these global issues.

This summit invites a diverse assembly of government officials, entrepreneurs, investors, corporate leaders, and scholars from various regions and fields. Together, we will engage in meaningful dialogue to uncover the distinct advantages emerging markets offer in our collective quest for global resilience and prosperity.

Join us for an insightful week of discussions at this year's Emerging Markets Summit, where we will explore these opportunities and the pivotal role emerging markets play in shaping our global future.
