@yiphilly is proud to announce the panel for the @wtcgp 2026 Global Professional Summit during the Global Business Forum.
We’re spotlighting Philadelphia’s emerging leaders on a global stage. This is the first time in 10+ years GBF has been in the United States, and I’m making sure our city’s young leaders don’t miss this opportunity.
An in depth panel, a candid fireside chat, and a networking reception that connects executives and policymakers from around the world.

Global business isn’t just about who’s in the room. It’s about who’s next.
During the week of the 2026 WTCA’s Global Business Forum, we’re partnering with @yiphilly to host the Global Professional Summit—bringing together emerging leaders and global delegates for a night built around real conversation and connection.
The evening starts with a candid panel on leadership, workforce growth, and what it takes to operate at a global level, followed by a networking reception that connects young professionals directly with executives and policymakers from around the world.
If the Global Business Forum is where deals get done, this is where the next generation gets in the room.

Last week, YiP hosted a panel discussion on social impact careers. We heard from young professionals who are working in higher education, policy research, workforce development, and systems-building to unpack where impact actually happens day to day.
Learning from other young professionals empowers us to recognize where we can help shape the future of our city, even in unexpected places and roles.
Our board prep kick off event was par for the course: informative, fun, and driving young Philadelphians towards success.
Earlier this month, our Spring 2026 cohort of Board Prep participants had the chance to meet one another and members of YiP’s board to kick off the program that is designed to prepare future leaders to serve on non-profit boards and give back to the city we all love.
Join us on March 11th at 7pm for a panel discussion on social impact careers. We look forward to hearing from our stellar panelists and hope you’ll join us!

Yesterday we had another great “How to Run for Committee Person” training, co-sponsored by @yiphilly and @5thsqadvocacy , and held at @phillyethics . With petition circulating starting next week, we are thrilled to see the excitement across the city around building a more responsive government that works for all of us.
