About YPS

The German Marshall Fund of the United States (GMF) is dedicated to fostering the next generation of transatlantic leadership. The Young Professionals Summit (YPS) at Brussels Forum is a unique opportunity for rising stars to grow, gain new skill sets, engage in peer learning, interact with senior leaders and influence transatlantic policy debates. GMF’s signature annual event, Brussels Forum, brings together senior members of the political, industrial, commercial, and intellectual community. The Young Professionals Summit offers access to Brussels Forum’s tightly knit community and diverse network. Building on this work, the Summit aims to broaden debates and include diverse perspectives, thus forging links across generations, sectors, and geographies. YPS offers a strategic perspective on the transatlantic partnership in a world defined by new actors, and increasingly interconnected policy challenges. We invite you to join YPS as a partner and send rising stars from your organization to gain insight into major trends affecting the next generation of leaders and benefit from in-depth exchanges with policy makers from the United States and Europe.
