Global Leadership Conference
This year's Global Leadership Conference will take place March 5-7, 2027.
The Global Leadership Conference is celebrating 40 years in 2027! Over its history, the conference has inspired and engaged thousands of Girl Scouts. Since its start, the conference has seen several big changes but its core mission has stayed the same. This spring, the Global Leadership Conference will move to a new location in New Hampshire – the Granite State! We are excited to share that Southern New Hampshire University, a partner of the conference for several years, will host with us this year.
Southern New Hampshire University is located in Manchester which is the largest city in New Hampshire, known for its historic textile mill buildings, vibrant arts scene, and outdoor recreation. Southern New Hampshire University, affectionately known as “Snoo” for its SNHU abbreviation, started as a small business school and has grown into a powerhouse university known for its online programs. It straddles the Manchester-Hooksett line, serving about 3,000 on-campus students and over 200,000 online learners.
While the location is new, the conference will continue to offer opportunities to engage with women who are changing the world and to interact with amazing peers. Choose from over 40 workshops that include topics like STEAM, global issues, stress management techniques, financial literacy and more.
We are incredibly grateful to Salve Regina University for their hospitality in hosting the Global Leadership Conference for more than 30 years. Due to scheduling conflicts, they are unable to host the conference this year. We are not sure where 2028 will take us, but will share updates as plans are made.
This empowering weekend is set for March 5-7. The conference is open to all Girl Scout members in grades 9-12. Registration fee is $125 per person and includes workshops, campus activities, meals all day Saturday, and breakfast on Sunday.
We have arranged for hotel blocks around the greater Manchester area to make booking your own accommodation easy. Consider coming early or staying late to tour the Currier Museum of Art, the Frank Lloyd Wright Zimmerman House, the Millyard Museum, or the SEE Science Center. Visit Livingston Park for a mile-walk around Dorrs Pond or take a walk downtown to explore the many restaurants and Cat Alley.
Expand your mind and change your world. Sign up for the Global Leadership Conference no later than February 12.
New this year - those who are 18-30 years old can also attend, with workshops just for you! You’ll engage with mentors, participate in workshops designed for you, and help you build a connection to Girl Scouts both locally and globally as they become adults. Register as an adult and you will be able to sign up for specific workshops and peer networking opportunities closer to the event.
Registration closes February 12, 2027.
