Partners Help Power GLC

November 20, 2025

The Global Leadership Conference is made possible in part thanks to the partners that believe in JA’s mission. Their support helps us create a week of learning, connection, and innovation for staff and leaders across our global network. This year’s partners represent a range of industries, regions, and commitments, and each one plays a key role in shaping the GLC experience.

Delta Air Lines: Presenting Sponsor and Bold Tech Advocate

As the Presenting Sponsor of GLC Rio, Delta Air Lines plays a central role in making the conference a reality. Delta is also presenting the JA Bold Tech Award, which recognizes a JA location that has created bold-tech learning experiences for students through virtual or augmented reality, artificial intelligence, interactive platforms, and other immersive tools. Their support helps us elevate the importance of future-ready technology and celebrate teams who are developing innovative approaches to student learning.

SAP and Adobe: Possibility Partners Bringing New Ideas to Life

Our Possibility Partners, SAP and Adobe, are helping us push the boundaries of what GLC can offer. SAP is presenting the first-ever JA Wonderlab, a physical space with 10 interactive tech stations designed to showcase current and emerging tools, including holograms, AI glasses, and VR technologies. Together, SAP and Adobe support the idea that when educators, innovators, and mentors come together, new learning possibilities emerge.

EY: Inspiration Partner Supporting Global Leadership

As an Inspiration Partner, EY supports leadership development and strategic conversations throughout the week. Their partnership helps create an environment where JA staff and leaders can collaborate, share insights, and build skills that strengthen their ability to serve young people in every region.

Global and Local Supporters

We’re grateful for partners whose global and local commitments help make GLC Rio possible. The Patrick J. McGovern Foundation, Ancar Ivanhoe, Gerdau, and Hotel Nacional Rio each contribute in different ways to the planning, delivery, and experience of the conference. Their support ensures that our teams can come together for a high-impact week of learning and connection.
