What is the Global Engagement Summit?
We are a student-run social innovation conference that gathers young change makers from around the world to collaborate, discuss and further their social ventures.
The Global Engagement Summit believes that by connecting and empowering students we can begin to meet pressing social needs.
Together, we help push your venture further.
Become a sponsor
Interested in supporting the GES mission? We offer our sponsors an array of rewards, services and event partnership opportunities in exchange for their generosity. There are two types of sponsorship opportunities with GES: organizational (sponsoring the conference) and individual (sponsoring a delegate) sponsors. Further, within each type, there are different tiers that correspond to the amount of resources provided to our organization both during the Summit and throughout the year.
Please contact directors@theges.org with all inquiries. We thank you for your support and look forward to working with you.

What we do
Every spring, we hold a five day long summit full of programming, mentorship, and a pitch competition in Evanston, Illinois. Our delegates come from around the world to grow their projects and connect with other young change makers.
Meet our team
All year, our staff works tirelessly, engaging in discussions about social issues, planning programming, and providing support to our delegates to make the Summit the best experience it could possibly be.
“The GES experience has been the most rewarding of all the international programs I have joined. It has opened my eyes to social entrepreneurship and nonprofit social impact work and introduced me to inspiring delegates and GES members and their outstanding work.”
