Words by Pablo Romero Yusta Global Ambassador Master of International Marketing Class of 2016, San Francisco
Each year, the Hult Alumni Association hosts a Global Alumni Summit in a major city to bring alumni together. This year’ s summit took place from June 17-18th, 2016 in San Francisco. It boasted an international roster of global speakers, including Andrew Grill from IBM and Chip Conley from Airbnb. The summit was a perfect opportunity to catch up with old friends, meet new ones, and learn from Hult professors and top business experts.
This year’ s theme was“ Bridging Global Perspectives” with a particular emphasis on disruptive thinking. It was perfectly fitting therefore to host the summit in one of the world’ s capitals of technological innovation and research: San Francisco. More than 100 alumni from over 30 different countries gathered for the summit to hear from ten globally renowned speakers, attend interactive workshops led by guest professors, and participate in alumni panel discussions.
