Dates: May 30-June 1, 2025
Location: Charleston, South Carolina

YEA Leadership Weekend 2.0 (YLW 2.0) is designed to provide additional, more advanced resources to YLW alumni. For this continuation of YLW, we bring back Ralph Kison to facilitate and expand on the skills he taught at the existing YLW event. As YLW alumni, you’ve had the opportunity to use the resources and connections you gained at YLW to not only grow your professional careers, but develop your participation within ASHRAE. The purpose of YLW 2.0 is to continue that growth and development, and hopefully inspire even further leadership skills and aspirations!

The 2025 YEA Leadership Weekend 2.0 will be held May 30-June 1, 2025, in Charleston, South Carolina at the Charleston Marriott. Registration is $600 and includes hotel accommodations for Friday and Saturday, meals during the event (dinner on Friday, all meals on Saturday, and breakfast and lunch on Sunday), and all necessary materials and resources. Airfare and any ground transportation costs are not included.

We are thrilled to announce that registration for YLW 2.0 is now open! This year, we are extending the opportunity to any ASHRAE member over the age of 35 or any YEA member who holds an active management or leadership position. This means that even if you haven't attended a previous YLW event, you are still eligible to join us for this incredible experience.

Please note, there is an additional fee of $300 to complete the required TRAITS assessment, which was part of YLW 1.0.

Curious about what YLW events are all about but missed your chance to attend YLW 1.0 as a YEA member? Well, this is your year to dive into the ASHRAE-renowned event! We understand that many members were disappointed to miss out on YLW 1.0, so we are excited to test-run this program and allow more members to sign up, even if they haven't met the prerequisite.

Don't miss this unique opportunity to enhance your leadership skills, network with industry professionals, and gain valuable insights that can propel your career forward. Join us for YLW 2.0 and be part of an event that promises to be both enriching and unforgettable!
