San Diego State University Leadership Summit Conference 2026

We invite all college students to participate in the annual SDSU Leadership Summit on Saturday, March 7, 2026 from 9:30am - 2:45pm (registration beginning at 9:00am) in the Conrad Prebys Aztec Student Union on the San Diego State University campus.

The SDSU Leadership Summit Conference theme, “Voices of Change: Leadership Sounds Like This” amplifies the diverse ways leadership emerges, resonates, and inspires within our community. This theme celebrates the power of individual and collective voices to influence meaningful change. By encouraging students to lead with clarity, courage, and compassion, we highlight how leadership is not defined by a single style or sound, but by the authenticity and impact behind it. Together, we explore how our voices can spark transformation, foster inclusion, and shape a future led by those bold enough to speak, listen, and act.

Join us at the 17th annual San Diego State University (SDSU) Leadership Summit conference to learn tangible strategies to become a better leader.

This year, we are offering a fully in-person conference experience open to any college student.

Registration fees*:

• SDSU students (SDSU Red ID number required): $30 plus processing fee

• Off Campus college students/participants: $40 plus processing fee

During the registration process, you will be asked to select your choice of presentations for both the Breakout Session and a Deeper Dive Session. You can find a detailed abstract and additional information about each session at here.
