Barack Obama, the 44th U.S. president, will visit Poland for the fourth time to speak at the Impact’25 conference in Poznań on May 15. The event, celebrating its 10th anniversary, gathers global leaders in business, technology, and politics.
Obama, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate and influential political figure, follows in the footsteps of his wife, Michelle Obama, who spoke at Impact’24. The former president remains active through the Obama Foundation and Higher Ground Productions, which collaborates with Netflix.
Other notable speakers at Impact’25 include former NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, political scientist Francis Fukuyama, and author Peter Pomerantsev. Past editions have hosted figures like Hillary Clinton and Yuval Noah Harari. Impact’25 continues to be a key platform for discussing global challenges and innovations.
