Holly Ransom, CEO of Emergent Global, will return as Main Stage host for PCMA’s Convening Leaders 2027 (CL27), taking place 10–13 January, 2027, at the Miami Beach Convention Center. The association’s president and CEO, Sherrif Karamat made the announcement that Ransom, who has partnered with PCMA for eight years, would again be connecting themes across speakers and sessions into meaningful narratives.
Ransom has sat across from leaders including president Barack Obama, who personally chose her to moderate his 2018 appearance in Australia, and also Sir Richard Branson.
Over the past several years, Ransom has led CL Main Stage conversations with Tabitha Brown, Brené Brown, Amal Clooney, president Bill Clinton and 67th Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and Trevor Noah.
“Holly knows our community’s history, not just a single year’s run sheet. That continuity is worth more than any single great performance, and it’s the reason we continue to engage Holly, year after year,” said Karamat. “Her ability to connect people and ideas makes her a natural partner in PCMA’s mission to drive social and economic progress through business events.
“Convening Leaders has never felt like just another event to me. It is a community of people who bring the world together and who push one another to lead better,” said Ransom. “Sitting down with exceptional leaders in January is always a welcome and exciting opportunity, and I can’t wait to share those conversations with this amazing global community.”
As CEO of Emergent Global, Holly Ransom advises Fortune 500 companies, governments, elite sporting teams and brands such as Microsoft, Virgin and P&G on building future-ready teams and navigating disruption. A keynote speaker, emcee and interviewer, she has spoken to audiences in more than 25 countries and has been trusted to hot important events for brands including Coca-Cola, Google, Mastercard and EY.
