2026 WLSA Strategic Meeting

We are very excited to announce our upcoming 2026 WLSA Strategic Meeting. As global education continues to face unprecedented transformations, WLSA is honored to convene together school and university leaders from our global network for a two-day strategic meeting, focused on our fundamental principles of collaboration, access and cross-cultural understanding. Our senior enrolment leaders and board members from leading universities, as well as global education innovators, will come together to explore how we can work to create more inclusive education through innovative teaching, as well as how we can better prepare students for an interconnected, complex world.

 
Across keynote sessions, panel discussions and strategic brainstorming sessions, participants will examine:

 
• Expanding access to opportunity
• Deepening cross-cultural understanding
• Strengthening collaboration among schools and universities

 
Through dialogue and strategy, we aim to strengthen WLSA’s global partnerships and advance its mission of fostering access, understanding and meaningful connection across global borders. The meeting will take place in Florence, Italy—a city where timeless creativity meets cutting-edge technology, providing an inspiring setting for AI and innovation–focused discussions.
