People-to-people exchange, at the heart of foreign affairs.
Each year we welcome hundreds of current and emerging leaders from around the world to Greater Boston, organizing professional exchanges and forging connections with local counterparts.
How visiting leaders engage with Boston.
International Visitor Leadership Program
As the #1 destination for U.S. State Department foreign exchanges, WorldBoston hosts powerful short-term visitor engagements throughout the region, opening doors for global and regional leaders to connect.
Custom Visitor Programs
High-touch delegation planning — for both public and private sector groups — that are designed to meet all diplomatic protocols. We provide cultural fluency, tailored agendas, precision people logistics, and curated connections to our network of influential stakeholders.
Fulbright Visiting Scholars
Academia plays a major role in the culture and growth of our region. Every year, we proudly welcome Fulbright scholars to the Boston area, bringing them together with local peers — and pioneers — to deepen their expertise.
"The International Visitor Leadership Program is the kind of program that everyone thinks is for them. And it is."
— AMY STORROW, former DIRECTOR, OFFICE OF INTERNATIONAL VISITORS, U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE
