The 45th American-German Young Leaders Conference will take place from July 20 to 25, 2025.
Who should apply:
The Young Leaders Conference is open to American and German professionals between the ages of 28 and 38 who are excelling in their respective field and actively engage in pursuits outside of work. We are looking for individuals who are passionate, driven, and ready to make an impact. The program seeks a diverse mix of candidates – both geographically and professionally – who are eager to expand their understanding of the transatlantic relationship, especially those with limited exposure to it. We are seeking influencers, changemakers, and people who can drive meaningful change.
How to apply:
Applicants should submit a letter of recommendation (one to two pages), a CV/resume, and a personal statement explaining what they hope to gain from the conference and how they plan to contribute.
Applicants are encouraged to seek nominations to enhance their chances. Nominations typically come from Young Leader alumni, members of the ACG, and other interested sources. However, self-nominations are also welcome.
The selection process is highly competitive. A Steering Committee made up of accomplished alumni and ACG board members will review all applications. Many more applications are received than available spaces, and typically, only 25 Americans and 25 Germans will be selected to participate.
Deadline Extension!
Nominations and Applications are due no later than March 21, 2025.
