The Global Leadership Conference on the Church, Business and Education is scheduled to take place on the Hardin Simmons University (HSU) campus Thursday and Friday August 9th and 10th. This leadership conference/summit attracts leaders, clergy and educators from over 300 cities from around the world. This conference affords attendees the opportunity to meet and engage world-class entrepreneurs, best-selling authors, and notable Christian leaders as they will exchange their different views, opinions and ideas.

HSU is only one of many host sites in Texas to host the two-day conference that originates from the Willow Creek Community Church in South Barrington, Illinois.

“The Summit is a unique offering for Abilene and the West Central Texas region and a great fit with the mission of HSU to provide an education enlightened by faith,” said James Stone, HSU’s director of church relations. The Global Leadership Summit 2012 will be transmitted live via satellite to 200 locations throughout the U.S. on August 9-10, 2012, and video-cast internationally in 42 languages to more than 90 countries by January 2013.
