> General Information About Me2We
Me2We is the flagship annual touchpoint for the LEAD community to meet and learn from each other. 2025 will be the 10th annual Me2We event, a milestone the GSB team and the LEAD community are extremely proud of.
Me2We’s goal is to strengthen the sense of community among fellow LEADers and amplify Stanford GSB’s motto to change lives, change organizations, and change the world.
Some interesting facts about Me2We:
- In 2016, a group of participants from the Pioneers and Explorers cohorts (Cohorts 1 and 2) had the idea to gather and connect in person at the GSB campus. The event was so successful that it was repeated in 2017 and has continued every year since.
- During the pandemic, the event pivoted to a virtual event, returning in 2022 to in-person.
- A hallmark of Me2We is that it’s designed and organized by LEADers, for LEADers, and hosted by Stanford GSB on campus.
Me2We is open to all members of the LEAD community, including LEADers who are currently taking the program and those who have already completed it.
From Pioneers to Pathfinders, Me2We 2025 welcomes LEADers from all 20 cohorts. LEAD Course Facilitators, LEAD GSB staff, and many GSB Faculty.
