Celebrating 20 Years of Impact

Registration is now open for the 20 Years of LALP Impact Events, a milestone celebration of Georgetown University’s Latin America Leadership Program (LALP).

As part of this commemorative week, LALP will host a one-day forum, "Ahead of the Curve: Building Regional Advantage in a Shifting Global Landscape," on Friday, November 6, at the Lohrfink Auditorium in the McDonough School of Business. Open to the entire Georgetown University community and external guests, the Forum will bring together leaders, scholars, and partners to exchange knowledge, reflect on shared regional challenges, and explore new opportunities for collaboration across the Americas.

This gathering takes place at a pivotal moment for both the region and the university, strengthening connections between LALP alumni (GCL, ILG, and GBEL programs), regional partners, and Georgetown University. Participants are invited to engage in meaningful dialogue and deepen networks that have shaped two decades of impact. Register now to attend the Forum and be part of this special anniversary celebration.

Note: LALP alumni should register through the Alumni Registration Page to attend this and all reunion events taking place November 5–9, 2026, on campus.

The forum agenda is listed below. Questions: lalp@georgetown.edu
