Background:

When it first established its Crotonville, NY campus in 1956, General Electric wanted to make itself into the best-managed company in the world. The 62-acre Crotonville campus with over 320,000 square feet of conference space and 248 guest rooms is the site of General Electrics global leadership development institute. The Crotonville mission is to inspire, connect and develop the leaders of today and tomorrow, and not just internally. Twice a year, GE gathers around 300 customers for its Global Customer Summit (GCS) at Crotonville. Across five days of intensive learning and immersive networking, delegates live in the on-site residences and hear from a range of carefully curated speakers presenting on everything from neuroscience to additive manufacturing, from innovations inside emerging technologies to leadership.
