"I Loved how education, entrepreneurship, education and entertainment were unfolded at a very high level and in playful ways. It provided access to 'other worlds' and ways of thinking...clearly showing lots of similarities to where ideas can cross-pollinate. Super, super inspiring!"
-Lene Jensby, CEO, Autens; Denmark

Château d'Hauteville
Saint-Légier-La Chiésaz, Switzerland
The 2027 EPIC International Summit will be hosted at an extraordinary place to gather and discover new insights: the historic, restored 18th century Château d'Hauteville, Pepperdine University's international campus, near Lake Geneva in Switzerland. The Château sits above the Swiss Riviera with panoramic views of Lac Léman and the Alps. With 7 classrooms, spacious residential rooms, a grand ballroom, a library, and a cellar.
Château d'Hauteville's current form took shape in the 1760s–1780s, at the height of the Enlightenment, when the estate served as a space for cultural expression, scientific experimentation, and intellectual life. Pepperdine acquired the property in 2019 and spent three years on a meticulous restoration—preserving the estate's 18th-century character while transforming it into a fully functioning university residence, formally opening in July 2022. From the Château, the Swiss Alps are visible from your window, and Paris and Rome are just a hours away by train. Offsite offer boundless possibilities in town or hop on a train to Geneva Airport and explore.
