The SYPG Program 2010

In its third year, the SYPG presents six events for young professionals to be inspired, learn and make great connections.

With the theme of 'Inspiration to Reality' the program focuses on the key aspects of taking an idea or a goal and making it a reality with experts, leading young professionals and entrepreneurs offering their insights and advice. 

The events all include informal networking and presentations, and you can choose just the ones that interest you.  The SYPG team will ensure you are made to feel welcome and look forward to seeing you at one of these great events.

Other events will be added to the program as well.
