To help develop the Western Slope young professionals, the Grand Junction Area Chamber of Commerce and Young Professional Network of Mesa County are thrilled to announce that on August 22nd at Colorado Mesa University, we will unveil the first-ever Western Slope Young Professionals Summit!
What can I expect from the YP Summit?
Prepare for a premiere, one-day conference that centers around empowering young professionals (YPs) to ignite their curiosity, discover new ways to grow personally and professionally, forge meaningful connections, and uncover opportunities to expand their knowledge and engage with the local community to drive positive transformations. This conference will provide great networking opportunities for local, Western Slope young professionals, but will also provide the opportunity for young professionals to participate in many educational breakout sessions to help advance their professional ability in the workplace.
This event will run from 9:00 AM until 3:00 PM with a mixture of keynote and breakout sessions, and ample time for connection as well. This event will feature keynote speakers that have a profound understanding of the young professional experience, providing relatable insights and perspectives. Throughout the day, breakout sessions will be designed to offer both information and interactivity, enabling you to enhance your professional ability in the workplace. Stimulating discussions will take place, with a strong emphasis on encouraging active participation from attendees to gain a deeper understanding of their workplace observations and perspectives.
What sessions will there be?
I have also heard about the Bestslope NEXT Gen Award – how is this connected to this event?
Not only will we be hosting the inaugural Western Slope YP Summit, but we will also be unveiling the BestSlope NEXTGen award. After the summit has concluded, there will be acocktail reception in the early evening for summit attendees and the first-ever Bestslope NEXT Gen award recipients. Recipients from across the Western Slope will be recognized at an evening reception surrounded by key industry leaders, colleagues, and peers as we highlight the next generation of business leaders who understand the importance of civic engagement and the power of the entrepreneurial mindset. The perfect way to conclude a day that will truly shine a spotlight on the strong young professional community we are proud to engage with.
