About ILS

ILS 2025

Developed from the vision and sagacity of CEO, pastor, New York Times bestselling author, T.D. Jakes, the International Leadership Summit (ILS) is a world-class gathering of some of the greatest enterprising minds in the world. This conference was created to provide corporate and ministry leaders, as well as entrepreneurs with the insights necessary to succeed in an ever-evolving world.

This year, ILS will focus on “The Changing of the Guard,” and the importance of succession planning. This era has birthed an unpredictable amount of transition, and while some leaders flow easily amid the shifts and changes, others find the process daunting, especially those unprepared for the heaviness of leadership! In reality, we’re witnessing one exhausted generation pass the torch to another. And during the process, the hands of both the torch givers and the torch receivers are charred, if not completely burned. Experts suggest that history’s most significant transfer of generational wealth will take place over the next decade. But we aren’t just passing down money; we’re conducting a formal handover of role, responsibility, and reputation.

Change is inevitable. Planning is critical. Will you be ready?
