ESSCA Málaga will host the MERIT Summit & Awards in June 2026, a major international gathering dedicated to leadership and executive education.

The MERIT Summit & Awards will take place on 4–5 June 2026 at ESSCA Málaga.

For two days, international business schools and senior HR & L&D leaders will gather to discuss the future of leadership and corporate learning.

More than an event, this reflects a positioning: ESSCA Málaga is emerging as a strategic European hub for executive education, combining international reach, academic excellence, and strong corporate engagement.

Great leaders don’t create followers, they create environments where others grow.
This summit is designed in that spirit: creating space for dialogue, exchange, and collective growth.

That is exactly the spirit behind this summit: creating the space for dialogue, exchange, and collective growth.
