This eight-day, high-impact engagement experience across South Florida will build and solidify excitement within our Northeastern community to fuel a successful Global Leadership Summit, taking place in Miami this year.
Attendees who come to either Gateways to the Summit, the Global Leadership Summit, or both will delight in this waterfront wonder of a city that is a hotspot for today’s Millennials with an eye on technology, finance, business, and world cultures. They will enjoy a taste of Latin America through its music, art, sports, and food, while hearing engaging stories of persistence, community, survival, and resilience. And they will connect with other members of the Northeastern community, together making memories, spurring action, and returning home with fresh ideas and insights to apply in their everyday lives.
Gateways to the Summit will:
INNOVATE AND ELEVATE around Northeastern’s community programming and engagement, prominently featuring the university’s Miami campus
CONVENE AND ENERGIZE Northeastern’s alumni, parent, and friend community from around the world in Miami, taking advantage of a U.S.-based Global Leadership Summit in a vibrant and enticing city
ENABLE ENGAGEMENT of a wider range of alumni and parent speakers than just those at the Global Leadership Summit, and strengthen relationships with partners across South Florida
ENTICE THE AUDIENCE TO COME EARLY to the Global Leadership Summit to attend the Gateways to the Summit by leveraging other Miami and Florida-area events such as the South Beach Wine and Food Festival, our annual Huskies versus Red Sox, and the International Boat Show
ENCOURAGE the Northeastern community to consider how they can add meaning to their lives by giving back to the university community through time, talent, or treasure
MAINTAIN A SPECIAL FOCUS on our Latin and South American community members as Miami is the “gateway to Latin America”
