YPO

Peer learning takes on a different energy when YPO members experience something as thought-provoking as TED together.

Beyond the talks, YPO members created space to exchange perspectives, challenge assumptions and explore what the ideas could mean for their leadership, businesses and communities.

As YPO member Aaron Rallo describes it, having YPO within the TED community is “supercharged.”

YPO@TED returns in 2027 with another opportunity to experience world-changing ideas alongside a community of fellow leaders.

For YPO members Voicu Oprean, Founder & President of AROBS, and Porter Haney, Founder & CEO of Codingscape, a trusted connection became a cross-continental partnership in just eight months.

At the YPO Global Business Summit (GBS), connections go beyond conversation — creating opportunities for members to build relationships, explore partnerships and grow across borders.

From Peer to Partner: The YPO Story Behind AROBS and Codingscape’s Cross-Continental Deal Trust, value, and YPO connections turned a chance meeting at the YPO Global Business Summit into a global partnership between AROBS Transilvania Software and Codingscape.

YPO member Brett Johnson, owner of Rhode Island FC and Ipswich Town FC, sees football as more than a game. It is a global connector, a catalyst for jobs, investment and stronger communities.

For leaders, the lesson is powerful: major moments create attention, but intentional leadership converts that attention into enduring momentum. The World Cup united people across cultures and borders; what happens next depends on leaders who build on that energy with clear vision, humility and long-term thinking.

The World Cup Effect Brett Johnson explores how the FIFA World Cup unites fans, transforms communities and reveals football’s growing economic and cultural impact.

“I don’t know how much we can learn about our leadership if we’re not uncomfortable.”

For YPO member Carissa Reiniger, leaning into discomfort and asking better questions are essential to becoming a stronger leader.
She shares why can no longer be treated as a separate initiative. It’s a leadership imperative and a smarter way to build businesses where people, communities and organizations can thrive.
