The Fletcher School

A Graduate School of International Affairs

International Business Global Speaker Series

Each academic year, the International Business Global Speaker Series (IBGSS) hosts a number of high profile lectures and events featuring a spectrum of industry leaders and entrepreneurial visionaries from diverse international business fields to share their experiences, insights and advice with students and the community at large. These high profile international business leaders render culturally stimulating, entertaining and thought-provoking discussions on topics as compelling as cross border trade and finance, developing capital markets, emerging market private equity, business diplomacy, to international entrepreneurship.

We invite you to join us at The Fletcher School as we continue to host these international business thought leaders, bringing valuable engagement opportunities to our community. The official 2008-2009 IBGSS Calendar is featured below. Please check this site frequently as we regularly update it with confirmed speakers.
