Connected, Your Way
YARD is the movement for business minds who never want to miss a moment that matters. As an initial focus, YARD is distributing business events in real-time in all the right places helping communities, teams, and individuals stay effortlessly ahead.
Users can then use smart connection profiles to receive notifications about relevant events or exchange with others. Pardon, YARD is in beta mode as we're working on enabling everything.
Mission Statement
"YARD connects anyone with what they care about. YARD expands user choice, supports providers in reaching new audiences, and enables partners to grow with data-driven discovery and smooth integration."
The products of YARD enable people, websites, apps, and other users to connect better. YARD is designed from ground up for the appless age, providing interoperability, guidance, and certainty. YARD is created by Michael Wutzke and Luca Caspari with support from Jochen Biedermann and Michael Wellenbeck.
Connecting Events and People
YARD is creating an information bridge for contextual data exchange currently focused on business events and business users. When such events enter YARD, they are instantly visible in all the right places helping communities, teams, and individuals stay effortlessly ahead. People can discover events through the events explorer or any events calendar connected to YARD. Soon, users can also use smart connection profiles and notifications to interact with these business events. In other words, YARD connects the right people with the right events.
Get Events via the YARD Calendar
YARD is distributing its real-time feed of business events to online communities using the YARD Calendar. Anyone can publish the YARD Calendar with just one line of code. No more manual research or publishing of business events: YARD is doing the heavy lifting for you.

Making business events accessible has never been this easy or this smart.
Interact With Events
Currently, users can only discover business events using the events explorer on this website and through calendars on 3rd party websites. But, there will soon be an easier way to stay up-to-date about upcoming events:
Users can also create smart connection profiles for getting relevant notifications about business events through their desired communication channels (websites, messengers, social media, or email). By adding their interests and following brands, users can increase the quality of their recommendations and interactions.
Ultimately, YARD aims to connect the right people with the right events.
Get Alerts Through YARD Cards
Launching in Winter 2025, YARD Cards allow individuals, teams, and organizations to connect across communication boundaries. Use them to exchange identities or to receive notifications via your preferred communication channel. Think of YARD Cards as business cards with superpowers which can be used to connect with people, topics, and brands across apps or in real life. But, that's not all.
Premium YARD Cards offer extensive customization and integration options, including the ability to capture a double opt-in, make contact data available to 3rd party software, issue cards for employees, manage cards via API, or highlight profiles as verified.
Whether exploring, networking, relationing, collaborating, or staying in touch, YARD Cards help you connect on your terms. Reinvent the way you use your identities.
