NextBillion - An Initiative of the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan

The University of Miami, Concordia’s Principal Programming Partner, will be the official host of the 2023, 2024, and 2025 Concordia Americas Summits. As Concordia’s longest-standing regional initiative, the seventh iteration of the Americas Summit will gather leaders from the public, nonprofit, and private sectors to confront the challenges and opportunities facing the Western Hemisphere, with a particular focus on Latin America. Furthering many of the outcomes and themes from the 2022 Americas Summit, the 2023 Concordia Americas Summit will spark concrete steps rooted in a common bond: the desire to see the hemisphere reach its full potential.

“A city like Miami has experienced tremendous prosperity because we have followed some simple rules. It highlights to me as Mayor that we have a job to do—not just in terms of leadership in this country, but in terms of leadership throughout the world.”

HON. FRANCIS SUAREZ, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF MIAMI

“Sometimes we create this false dichotomy between action at the global level and at the national level. The truth is that everything is both global and local at the same time. You can’t be effective as a national leader if you’re not engaged locally.”

DR. JULIO FRENK, PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI

Concordia is in the process of determining the main themes and desired outcomes of the 2023 Americas Summit. As we build out the agenda for the two days over the coming weeks, please get in touch if you’d like to learn about organizational engagement opportunities by emailing partnerships@concordia.net.
