The Chicago Forum on Global Cities, 2017 GLOBAL STUDENT DELEGATION
The Chicago Forum on Global Cities, hosted by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs and the Financial Times, convenes global leaders in business, civics, culture, and education to engage in a multidisciplinary dialogue. Each year, these leaders discuss critical trends facing global cities. Forum delegates represent the broad global spectrum: mayors, CEOs, university heads, scholars, architects, and civic leaders. In the past, speakers such as Madeleine Albright, Ajay Banga, and Judith Rodin have taken stage at the Forum.
