The 2026 AESC Global Summit in New York brought together leaders from across executive search, leadership advisory and the wider talent ecosystem for two days of insight, discussion, and meaningful connection.
Hosted by the Association of Executive Search and Leadership Consultants (AESC), the Summit focused on the evolving role of leadership in a rapidly changing world. From board dynamics and C-suite transformation to culture and talent strategy, the agenda reflected the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of the industry.

Ezekia’s CEO, Joseph Blass, was pleased to be in attendance, joining peers, clients, and new connections from across the global executive search community. The event provided a valuable opportunity to reconnect with existing partners, meet new firms, and engage in conversations that are actively shaping the direction of the industry.
At its core, the Summit was about bringing people together - creating space for practical insight, shared experiences, and the kind of discussions that don’t always happen outside the room.

Across both days, the energy was defined by collaboration and forward-thinking dialogue. With a strong focus on leadership, culture, and the future of the C-suite, it was clear that executive search firms are continuing to evolve alongside the organisations they support.
As the pace of change accelerates, gatherings like the AESC Global Summit remain an important moment to pause, reflect, and look ahead, together.
