Lauder Global Impact Summit: Embracing A New Lauder Fluency
Time: 8:00 AM - 3:30 PM
Venue: Pier 60, 60 Chelsea Piers, New York, NY 10011
As technology, politics, and culture shift beneath our feet, 2025 marks a historic year of rapid, unpredictable change. Among the many forces reshaping our world, two stand out as particularly consequential: the realignment of the global world order and the rise of transformative technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data.
Navigating uncertainty on multiple fronts means balancing competing interests, anticipating emerging risks, and spotting opportunities where they’re least expected. In a time defined by accelerating change and deep uncertainty, both organizations and individuals are being called upon to adapt—swiftly and thoughtfully—to a new world that’s still taking shape.
At Lauder, global fluency has always meant moving across cultures with insight and empathy. Today, it also means being future fluent - able to interpret geopolitical complexity, pivot with purpose, and stay grounded in a shared sense of identity, connection, and direction.
What happens when everything familiar starts to shift—our industries, our roles, our sense of what’s next? LGAW 2025 is a space to reflect on what it means to be Lauder today: how we lead with impact in a world in flux, how we reinvent ourselves personally and professionally, and how we carry that unmistakable Lauder Love forward into our businesses, our communities, and our lives.
Detailed Conference Schedule Coming Soon.
