On Wednesday, June 3, the Chattanooga Area Chamber of Commerce and the Young Professionals of Chattanooga (YPC) are hosting their inaugural YP Summit. As is the case with most 2020 events, the YP Summit will be held virtually. And though we’d love to see you all in person, the silver lining to a virtual summit is that anyone anywhere can take part. 

So come join us!

The YP Summit will feature a full day of incredible presentations and panel talks aimed at empowering young professionals to take their career journeys to the next level.

Of course, we hope you’ll join us for the Heed PR panel discussion, “How to Know You’re Ready to Start Your Own Business.” We’ll be going live at 11:15am, featuring three successful area entrepreneurs discussing the real nitty-gritty of turning a side-hustle into something more substantial. 

Here’s an excerpt from the YP Summit itinerary:
