2026 Themes

Sports

Just like in sports, every move in your career counts. Join us for career and financial workshops, connect with mentors who coach you toward success, and join investment groups and supporters ready to help you win—on and off the field. Your path to power starts here.

Health

Fuel your future with wellness at the core. We’re helping you build a life where health is your foundation for leadership. From mental clarity to physical vitality, your path to power begins with taking care of you.

Longevity

How do we unlock healthier lifespans in a culture built to keep us consuming? Learn from experts about the next wave of wellness—and what it reveals about the future of our health, habits, and healthcare systems. It's time to redefine what thriving looks like.

Switzerland

Seriously, someone flew from Switzerland (first time visiting United States) to experience YHLS.

Can't-Miss

The only place in healthcare for casual clothes, comfortable conversations, and the joy of finding your path for the future.

J.O.B.S.

Our sponsors want to hire you, inspire you, and learn from you. Not talk at you.

Don't Miss This

Hospitals already work on Weekends.

YHLS starts Tuesday May 5th at night (patented ice cream social), with programming on Wednesday May 6th (all-day) and Thursday May 7th (3/4 day). Even though this won't feel like work, we know you've got better stuff to do on the weekend :)
