The Young Professionals Network has been a leading professional development and networking organization in Greater Philadelphia for the past 10 years.

This event will focus on the exciting lifestyle attractions for Philadelphia’s young professionals and look ahead at future development plans. Key players in music, fashion, sports and dining will highlight the impact that the entertainment industry has had on transforming the region.
