As we celebrate 20 years of the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME), the 2027 PRME Global Forum invites educators, researchers, business leaders, students, and changemakers from around the world to come together in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to reimagine the role of business and management education in shaping a more sustainable and inclusive future.
Under the theme Bridging a Changing World, the Global Forum will explore the connections, tensions, and opportunities shaping our future: between East and West, North and South, business and academia, humanity and technology, and the progress of the past with the possibilities of tomorrow.
Through thought-provoking plenaries, interactive discussions, practical learning, and meaningful networking, participants will challenge established thinking, exchange ideas, build new relationships, and discover opportunities to turn shared ambitions into meaningful change.
The Global Forum is PRME’s annual flagship event that brings together PRME’s community and stakeholders to exchange knowledge and good practices on how to use the Principles of PRME as vehicles for transformation and advancement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Originating in 2008, this is the flagship annual event of the PRME community.
The 2027 PRME Global Forum will be hosted by Sunway Business School at Sunway University in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from 1-3 July, 2027.
The PRME Global Forum brings together educators, researchers, business school leaders, students, and partners from around the world who believe business and management education can be a powerful force for positive change.
Whether you're looking to bring new ideas into your classroom, strengthen your institution's impact, connect with global peers, or contribute to conversations about the future of management education, the Global Forum offers a unique opportunity to learn, exchange perspectives, and make meaningful connections.
Join us in Kuala Lumpur to exchange ideas, build lasting connections, and help bridge a changing world.
Watch the highlights from the 2026 PRME Global Forum:
The PRME Global Forum is the cornerstone of 2027 RME Week, a four-day gathering of the global responsible management education community hosted by Sunway University in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Bringing together the PRME Asia Forum, Global Forum, Integration Day, and cultural and community celebrations, RME Week is designed as a series of interconnected experiences that build upon and enrich one another. Regional perspectives and priorities emerging from the Asia Forum will inform global conversations at the Global Forum, while Integration Day will bring together the wider ecosystem to explore shared challenges, responsibilities, and opportunities for collective action. Culminating in PRME's 20th anniversary celebration, the week offers a unique opportunity to bridge communities, ideas, and perspectives while celebrating how far we have come and envisioning what comes next.
The PRME Global Forum is PRME’s annual flagship event that brings together PRME’s stakeholders (i.e. students, faculty, staff, Deans/Heads of Schools and board members) to exchange knowledge and good practices on how to use the Principles of PRME as vehicles for transformation and advancement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Stakeholders share not only the latest pedagogical innovations that advance sustainable development, but also challenges encountered in developing responsible decision makers.
We welcome your contribution and sponsorship to make the most of next year’s Global Forum, driving our common agenda led by business and management schools.
