The Global Sixty  ·  New York  ·  15 – 18 April 2027

Sixty emerging leaders.
New York City.
One extraordinary experience.

Four days in Manhattan, in black tie by Saturday. The kind of thing you talk about for years.

Not a conference.

This isn't simply a conference.

It is four days designed around leadership, confidence, access, relationships, and the kind of experiences most young people never get to have. There is a General Assembly at the heart of it, and the United Nations itself on the Friday morning. But that is not what you will remember first.

You will remember the room.

The Experience

Six things you will
talk about for years.

01 Inside the Room

First theirs.
Then yours.

On Friday morning the class walks the real chamber at the United Nations, slowly, with a briefing from UN staff. That afternoon you take your seat in ours: sixty delegations in a five-star ballroom, one resolution, and every Fellow on the floor. Nobody watches from the back. The text you adopt is published with its authors' names.

  • Speaking to a room
  • Negotiation
  • Drafting
  • Composure
The programme

02 The Gala

Saturday night.
Black tie.

That afternoon, a fitting with a stylist. By evening, the ballroom. Every Fellow is called to the stage by name, with their school and country, and gives a ninety-second address that a crew films and delivers within forty-eight hours. Awards are read with citations. It is the photograph you will keep.

03 New York After Hours

The class,
after dark.

Thursday: a welcome reception with the skyline behind glass, Fellows and guest speakers only. Friday: a five-course dinner taught live by an etiquette coach, so that by Saturday the table holds no surprises. And in between, the hours where sixty strangers become a class.

  • Chaperoned throughout
  • One roof
  • No alcohol, ever

04 The People You'll Meet

Sixty.
From everywhere.

The roommate from another continent. The delegate who beats you on the floor on Saturday and sits beside you at breakfast on Sunday. Guest speakers who have built things, in the room and at the table, not behind a lectern. Delegate, Private Fellows join them for a private dinner of eight on the Friday.

The friendships are the point. The number just makes them possible: sixty a year, met one at a time, admitted by interview.

05 Moments Beyond the Stage

The ones you'll
post.

  5. The pin.Your number, 0001 to 0060, engraved and yours for life.
  6. The Register.One leather book, signed on the Sunday morning. Then the photograph on the steps.

Delegate, Excellency
$4,999

Everything in Private, plus the helicopter flight, a limousine tour of New York by night, a private car with a named driver at each end, the head table at the gala with two parent seats, first choice of country, and breakfast with the founder and the guest speakers.

Every tier includes everything from the moment a driver holds up your name at the airport. Flights to New York are not included.

For parents

The other layer.

Your child will see New York, black tie and sixty new friends. You should see what the four days are built to do, and how they are looked after while it happens.

What they come home with

  • The confidence to speak to a room, and to a stranger
  • Negotiation, practised on a real resolution
  • Conversations with accomplished professionals, at the table
  • Friends in a dozen countries, and a directory of all sixty
  • A clearer sense of what they want to build
  • Four days of independence, inside a structure
  • Twenty portraits, a ninety-second film, a published resolution
  • A number, a Register, and a place in the Global Sixty for life

How they are looked after

  • One chaperone for every ten Fellows, on site around the clock
  • One hotel for everything: the rooms, the chamber, the dinners, the gala
  • Chauffeured from the airport and back. Nobody takes a taxi
  • Same-gender twin rooms, or a private room on the Private and Excellency tiers
  • No alcohol for Fellows, at any event, without exception
  • A 24-hour number for parents and a daily update
  • The hotel named to admitted families before any payment is due
  • A twenty-minute call with the founder before a seat is confirmed
