The World Comes to L.A.: Three Conferences Convene Global Leaders at LMU to Shape the Future of Business and Cross-Sector Innovation
As Los Angeles takes on an increasingly prominent role on the world stage, Loyola Marymount University’s College of Business Administration will host “The World Comes to L.A.,” a weeklong international conference series bringing together global leaders from business, higher education, government, and civil society to explore solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges.
Held July 12-18, 2026, The World Comes to L.A. features three complementary events: the 31st annual International Association of Jesuit Business Schools (IAJBS) World Forum and 2026 Colleagues in Jesuit Business Education (CJBE) Annual Meeting; The Convening: Tri-Sector Innovation; and Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) North America Chapter Biennial Meeting. Together, the events will convene more than 250 academic leaders, business executives, government officials, faith leaders, members of the diplomatic corps, and changemakers to examine the future of ethical leadership, sustainability, innovation, and cross-sector collaboration.
The gathering comes at a pivotal moment for Los Angeles as the city welcomes visitors from around the world during the FIFA World Cup and prepares to host the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games – reinforcing its role as a global hub for innovation, culture, and international collaboration.
