Global Partners Meeting · 71st Edition

Shanghai 2027

Five days of leadership, strategy, and celebration on the Huangpu River — where the Bund’s century-old skyline faces Pudong’s tomorrow.

The Host City

Shanghai

Where East meets West, and a thousand years of history meet the skyline of tomorrow.

China’s largest city pairs the Bund’s century-old waterfront with the futuristic towers of Lujiazui across the Huangpu River. In April, the magnolias are in bloom and the city is at its most welcoming — a fitting backdrop for the 71st Global Partners Meeting.

Our Host Hotel

Pudong Shangri-La, Shanghai

Home for the week sits on the Huangpu River in Lujiazui, Shanghai’s financial district: the Bund on one bank, the towers of Pudong on the other. Every session takes place in the hotel’s own meeting rooms, so the trip from your room to the first session of the day is a lift ride.
