YOUNG PROFESSIONALS NETWORK EVENTS

​

YPN offers monthly networking opportunities that are scheduled with a young professional's schedule in mind! 

​

BEFORE
HOURS

Piping hot coffee or tea, with a little mix and mingle. Join YPN members and guests (are free) for this morning event. What a great way to start your business day with friends at this wildly ​popular event. Before Hours is held at various locations in Grand Junction beginning at 7am and wrapping up at 8:30am. This event is a drop-in event; come when you can, stay as long as you can! No RSVP required, just your smiling face.

LUNCH CONVERSATIONS

 Participate in a monthly lunch with a local business owner, community leader, or elected official in our area. This is a great way to learn life lessons from those who've succeeded in their careers, built businesses from the ground up, or lead a thriving organization. Conversations have lunch included, are always kept to a strict one hour, and have limited spots. This keeps the intimate atmosphere and provides the ideal listening arena.  RSVP is required. YPN members are free; non-member guests can attend for $10 to cover meal costs.

AFTER
HOURS

Held monthly by popular demand! After Hours is typically scheduled for the third Thursday of every month. After Hours is held at various cocktail and spirit establishments from 5:30 to 7:00pm. Free for members and non-member guests are welcome to attend with a $10 cover charge. Members enjoy a drink on us! Registration is encouraged; walk-ins welcome. 

SPECIAL
EVENTS

These events offer unique experiences for young professionals on a variety of topics; speed networking, pub crawls, volleyball tournaments, exclusive tours, and more! Keep an eye on our calendar for these upcoming opportunities. Many of these events require an RSVP and are member only events, so make sure you're an active member!
