Voices of Tomorrow: Y20 Summit Brings Global Policy Negotiation to Arlington Campus

The Policy School hosted the 2026 Y20 Summit—the G20’s official youth engagement forum—on its Arlington campus, bringing together young leaders from G20 nations for two days of policy negotiation across five tracks. The summit culminated in a joint youth communiqué that will carry forward to the G20 Leaders’ Summit in Miami this December. More than 20 speakers joined the program, including Josh Marcuse (Google), Alex Marquardt (Al Jazeera/CNN), Nicholas Logothetis (Concordia), and U.S. Chief Technology Officer Ethan Klein, who delivered the closing keynote. Hosting the Y20 reflects the Policy School’s “One Policy School” mission and Arlington’s growing role as a hub for globally engaged education in the National Capital Region.
