----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alongside Brussels Forum 2010, the German Marshall Fund of the United States (GMF) will host the Young Professionals Summit (YPS), a joint initiative by the Young Transatlantic Network of GMF and Young Professionals in Foreign Policy.

The Summit is a unique opportunity for 70 hand-picked young professionals to meet leading figures in global politics and discuss the most pressing issues on the transatlantic agenda. The Summit seeks to listen to the perspective of a younger generation -- who come from the European institutions, media, the business sector, NGOs, think tanks, and NATO -- and involve them in finding solutions to global problems.

High-level conversations at the Summit will feature Robert Zoellick, President of the World Bank; Peter MacKay, Minister of National Defence, Canada; and Gro Harlem Brundtland, former Prime Minister of Norway, among others.
