Supporting connection and exchange among leaders in the GGA network, GGA members will have their second and final, formal opportunity to shape the GGA 2026–2030 Strategy at this event.
This year’s Summit will open with a working dinner focused on the GGA Strategic Plan [Discussion 1] on Thursday, 25 September, followed by continued discussions [Part 2] at a breakfast session on Friday, 26 September, ahead of the AGM.
To ensure broad input into GGA’s new five-year strategy, eligibility to attend GGA Chairs Summit has been widened [beyond voting groups] to all GGA member groups, with Executive Officers also invited to join alongside, not in place of, their Board Chair or Vice Chair representatives.
