T.D. Jakes' International Leadership Summit Virtual Experience to Feature Tyler Perry, Steven Furtick, Judah Smith and Cynthia Marshall

 In the wake of an unpredictable and challenging 2020, global leader Bishop T.D. Jakes is bringing leaders from all areas of business and the nonprofit sector together to get clarity on the way forward. The reimagined 2021 International Leadership Summit is now a virtual event. From April 29 to May 1, industry thought leaders like Tyler Perry, Steven Furtick and Judah Smith will speak to a variety of topics including technology, global economics, faith and more.

"It is going to take all of our leaders coming together to not mirror what happened in 2020," said Jakes. "From the racial injustice to the COVID-19 pandemic, we cannot continue to leave our world without strong, strategic leaders who can bring us forward and out of the depths of where we started in 2020. We need to all get on the same page and come together once again to bring unity, hope and decisive action to our world of chaos."



Speakers include:

Bishop T.D. Jakes, senior pastor of The Potter's House

Serita Jakes, executive director of women's and children's ministries at The Potter's House

Tyler Perry, producer, director, actor, screenwriter, playwright, author, songwriter, entrepreneur and philanthropist

The International Leadership Summit is offering three Master Class roundtables. The first will feature Jakes, Steward and Allen on the topic of global economics. The second will feature Jakes and Perry, and Jakes will close out the final Master Class. The complete schedule of events is available online.

Since 2011, the International Leadership Summit has cultivated aspiring and tenured entrepreneurs, leaders and instrumental change agents to influence the world.
