Y7 Summit 2020 Details
In this ever-changing political and international climate, Young Professionals in Foreign Policy (YPFP) believes the next generation of foreign policy leaders must have the skills, resources, and relationships to work across divides and address enduring global challenges.The Y7 Summit convenes emerging foreign policy youth leaders to discuss current global economic, political, social, and security issues. This unique gathering of emerging global leaders happens in the United States only once every seven years. The Summit will bring together young opinion shapers, aged 22-30, and established policy and business leaders for meaningful dialogue. YPFP will partner with the U.S. Department of State and the White House to convene the G7 Youth Summit, the Y7, which accompanies the 2020 G7 Summit.Due to the ongoing and rapidly changing situation around COVID-19, YPFP is implementing certain policies in the interest of ensuring the safety of our community. In support of social distancing, we have decided to transition all gatherings to virtual events, postponing those not suited to virtual participation. Consistent with this notion, YPFP has transitioned the 2020 Y7 Summit to a virtual summit rather than a location-based summit. This decision is made out of an abundance of care and caution while we continue to monitor the situation.
