YHS is sponsored by Lausanne Hospitality Consulting (w) and Taj Hotels & Resorts (). The event will be centred around a competition, where groups comprised of students from various participating schools will be solving a creative challenge. The topic will be given by the Jumeirah Group () and will describe a real set of internal challenges. The two days of the YHS event will be organized around the given topic; workshops, activities, panels as well as networking events.

In addition to that, the YHS will welcome key note speakers including Guy Crawford (CEO Jumeirah Group) as well as M. David Cochrane (PDG Hospitality Industry Trust Scotland). The organizing students are part of the Career Club, a student run organization at EHL regrouping members of over 16 nationalities, ensuring the link between the students and the hospitality professionals.
