Thank you to all who came out to Innovation Brewhouse last week to engage with some amazing industry leaders - and an extra special thank you to our speakers who took valued time to sit down with us and share their expertise.

Despite the hectic week, we had a full house turn out for an afternoon of learning and connection!

After every event, we are more and more excited about the future of YPI Network and our opportunity to support young professionals and their development in the insurance industry!

Be sure to mark your calendars and save the date for our summer gathering - July 16th!
