Networking the Nations Summit AUG. 10-12, 2021
In August, more than 300 CEOs from different countries, backgrounds, and industries gathered on campus for the Networking the Nations Summit. At this event, CEOs networked with students and participated in panels. They discussed new and emerging technologies, the direction of business capital investment, and how to profess Christ in their respective business environments. The astonishing three-day, faith-based gathering, powered by the Standing for Freedom Center, featured keynote speakers Ben Carson, the founder and Chairman of American Cornerstone Institute; Steve Green, the President of Hobby Lobby and Founder of the Museum of the Bible; and John Maxwell, a New York Times Bestselling author and speaker on leadership. The Networking the Nations Summit also hosted
a strong roster of female entrepreneurs and business leaders. These included Industry Chief Technology Officer at IBM and Liberty alumna T’Neil Walea, who spoke on the direction of artificial intelligence. Throughout the conference, these CEOs poured into students’ lives and offered advice on launching a brand and how to identify future industry trends. “The School of Business tries to be responsive to God’s call to work in His world and leading in areas of the greatest need,” Dean Dave Brat said. “Inviting the power of world-class business leaders into a room to work out the issues, as well as opportunities in Africa for the poorest of the poor, will continue to motivate us to Train Champions for Christ and Network the Nations. With God, all is possible.”
