The 2017 dates and locations have been announced, and next year, the global event will move to The Breakers hotel in Palm Beach Florida.

Susie Ellis, chair of the GWS, made the announcement at the conclusion of this week’s Summit in Tyrol, Austria.

The Summit will take place from 9-11 October, 2017, “a great time to visit Florida,” said Ellis.

Three co-chairs for next year’s event were also announced: Maggie Hsu, advisor for online platform Zappos; professor Gerry Bodeker, clinical psychologist and public health academic; and Claire Martorana, formerly of Web MD, who will soon be taking a job with the US government.
