A vibrant hub of exchange, learning, collaboration and discussion.
The COVID-19 pandemic compelled us to acknowledge a global need for cooperation as existing inequalities present multiple challenges. In order to create a space to tackle these critical challenges, GBSN Beyond was born in 2020. As GBSN enters the 20th year since its founding, we continue to learn, grow, and evolve through partnership with our members. GBSN Beyond –– an evolution of The Annual GBSN Conference –– is in its third year and served as a premier international forum that convened over 2,500+ registrants online and over 150 participants in-person from over 35+ countries. With an innovative approach to what a conference can be, GBSN Beyond provided a variety of engaging learning experiences, knowledge exchanges, and opportunities to network and connect with colleagues from across the globe.
GBSN Beyond featured three parallel track experiences delivered virtually during the month of October, leading up to a 3-day conference. This year, the parallel track experiences were held virtually and the 3-day conference November 7-9, 2022, was presented in-person and accessible online. These track experiences were designed to engage Learners, Educators, and Leaders. The conference offered a program of keynotes, panel discussions, lightning talks, networking activities, and more.

Conference
November 7-9, 2022 I Amsterdam & Rotterdam, The Netherlands
GBSN Beyond delivered a variety of engaging learning experiences, knowledge exchanges, and opportunities to network and connect with colleagues from academia and industry from across the globe though an innovative hybrid environment. Historically, GBSN’s Annual Conference has been hosted at member institutions around the world. Our pivot to a virtual conference in 2020 allowed us to be more inclusive and engage a wider and diverse audience. As travel restrictions begin to ease around the world, we assembled everything we learned from our past virtual conferences and in-person conferences to deliver GBSN Beyond Together In-Person & Online.
The in-person conference was hosted in the cities of Amsterdam and Rotterdam, co-hosted by the Rotterdam School of Management and LUISS Business School. Leading academic faculty, leaders and administrators, professionals from industry and civil society were invited to join us in-person in The Netherlands.
