Think Beyond

The 15th German American Conference

October 27-29, 2023 | Cambridge, MA

The German American Conference (GAC) is the largest transatlantic student-led conference of its kind in the United States and provides a unique platform for leaders from academia, business, society, and politics to engage with passionate young minds.

We are committed to question the familiar and discuss impulses for action in fields such as society, culture, and technology, as well as business and politics, creating an inclusive space for open, interdisciplinary exchange among curious current and future leaders from both sides of the Atlantic – and beyond.

The contribution and the impulses achieved by the German American Conference for our bilateral relations cannot be overestimated.
Ursula von der LeyenPresident of the European Commission

The German American Conference at Harvard is an outstanding platform to get especially young Germans and US-Americans‎ enthusiastic about the transatlantic friendship between the United States of America and Germany.

I really enjoyed the panel discussions with top-level politicians and executives – it is hard to find another conference that is offering so many insiders’ views and open exchanges on topics that define our transatlantic relationship.
