Hear What People Are Saying About Our CEO Summits

Aviodun Fijabi, Nigerian Public Speaker Businessman

"This might be my first time at Liberty, but it definitely won't be my last. This is the place to be, and these are the people to identify with. They must represent some of the best of America - obviously some of the best I have met in my more than 50 visits to the USA."

T’Neil Walea, Global Industries Government CTO, IBM

"Working with the leadership of Liberty University is like taking a deep breath of fresh air. Their focus on being successful in the secular world while putting God first is what we should all strive to accomplish. Thank you, Liberty for leading the way with your spirit of excellence and desire to expose today's youth to live a balanced and Christ-centered life. Your leadership has inspired us all to strive toward the high calling of Jesus Christ. Keep leading Liberty, we are following!"

Benjamin Oviosu, CEO Octogone International

"My experience last year was very remarkable because I met and engaged with a number of distinguished guests, who shared the nuances of their business risks and operating practices and reasons for their success and significant levels of performance. One thing that I cherished the most was that I was relating with and hearing from believers all gathered together under one roof."

Mike Pompeo, Former Secretary of State

“Events like these create real opportunities. What it permits you to do is bypass the enormous bureaucracy. It is not possible for a commerce person or state department person to understand your business and the value you deliver. Through relationships such as these . . .you will have something that is more than transactional; it is transformative. If you can get in front of commercial business people, you will be more likely to succeed.”

Christopher Miller, Former U.S. Secretary of Defense

"Liberty University is not just talking about changing the world for the better, they are doing it. Through character-driven, authentic leadership built on a foundation of faith and generosity, the Liberty CEO Summit is THE event for those committed to creating a principled future of promise and opportunity. You come away refreshed, renewed, and motivated."
