The Story of Emerging Giants Summit
Founded by the 2023 & 2024 winners of the Stanford ASES Global Summit Competition, the Emerging Giants Summit (EGS) is a week-long program for young people who want to build world-changing things.
Based in Sydney, EGS Delegates will experience a program with globally-minded speakers, founders and investors, culminating in a flagship hackathon.​​
Our why:
Young people are not empowered to pursue their ambitions
How do we know? Because we've been navigating the exact same challenges:
​
“I don’t have the resources or skills to start”
“I don’t know anyone who has done this before”
“I don’t think I can take the leap”
​
The how:
We are worth more together than the sum of our parts
Building is a hard and lonely path.
We want to be the one in your corner.
A community aligned on succeeding in their own self-defined journeys - learning, growing and supporting each other wherever you are in the world.
But to forge meaningful connections, we need to meet in a shared place.
