ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
Since 2013 the Global Impact Conference, DA Global’s annual conference, has constituted the most comprehensive forum for connecting global education, inclusive excellence, and student success. Education professionals, students leaders, and industry stakeholders convene at GIC to gain the knowledge and skills needed to expand inclusive access to global education, and leverage such opportunities to enhance organizational impact, advance professional success, and position all students to succeed.
In 2025, more than 600 students & professionals will convene to attend 90+ sessions (over 200 hours) including keynote panels, innovation competition, guided action-planning, and in-depth workshops. Throughout the conference, attendees explored emerging research trends, share best-practices, and join a network of equity-minded colleagues committed to advancing our shared goals.
The 2025 Global Impact Conference will continue this meaningful event and be an opportunity to share innovations, build community, and collaborate to make progress towards ensuring global education has greater impact on students, institutions, professionals and communities. Global Impact 2025 will take place October 28 — 31 in Minneapolis, MN.
