NEW YORK, Oct. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --YPO, the world's largest global leadership community of more than 32,000 chief executives, will host its premier annual gathering in person for the first time since 2019. Held this year at New York City's cutting-edge North Javits Center, over 2,700 members from more than 80 countries will convene for an immersive learning and thought leadership experience consisting of expert keynotes, masterclasses, workshops and deep-dive forums.
Since 2010, YPO has hosted EDGE with the goal of creating peer-to-peer learning opportunities for chief executives who experienced success in business at a young age, with past speakers including Sheryl Sandberg, Her Majesty Queen Rania Al-Abdullah, former President Barack Obama, Sir Richard Branson, John Legend and Malala Yousafzai.
"YPO EDGE is not your typical convention. Over 2,700 CEOs from 80 countries will rally with key thought leaders and experts around critical topics in business and beyond, to learn openly from each other, to dive deep into small-group dialogue, and emerge with solutions to drive real change," said Xavier Mufraggi, CEO of YPO. "Our world has evolved at an unprecedented speed, so this year's EDGE is especially important as global leaders navigate what comes next and take these insights home to their businesses, families and communities around the world."
Based on insights sourced from its global community of leaders, this year's EDGE will address critical topics such as the future of work, digital transformation, ESG strategies, economic and financial instability, mental health in the workplace and many more.
