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 .
