YoPro Disrupts The Networking Experience For Graduates and Young Professionals

SAN FRANCISCO - Sept. 26, 2013 - PRLog -- There are over 2,800 organizations focused on graduates and young professionals’ in the United States. In addition, each hosts an average of three networking events annually, for a total of 8,400 networking events. With that many events, young professionals have to decide which event to attend, based on the value they add. It would surprise many to learn that this is often a difficult decision, which usually results in disappointment because of the experience.

Networking events themselves have notoriously been fraught with people attending with the intent to make business contacts to sell their products and services rather than develop real relationships or share experiences. When they include presentations, often attendees don’t always relate to the content and have a difficult time applying what they’ve learned.

YoPro, a global community dedicated to advancing young professionals in their careers and personal life, has worked with local and international organizations to examine the networking experience and reinvented it, adding individual and collective value to all attendees. Beginning at the time of the ticket purchase, YoPro was able to design a new networking experience with young professionals in mind that caters to their every desire.

On October 17^th, 2013, YoPro Global launches a new networking experience for young professionals in San Francisco. Upon registering in advance, young professionals will be introduced to fellow attendees based on shared interests. A small group of young professionals will be given an opportunity to have lunch with five key influencers including founders, executives and leaders, followed by the main event.

At the main event, young professionals will be assigned teams based on their interests, hosted by local young professional organizations and sponsors, then be treated to a presentation on the skills needed to meet people and advance in their careers and life by the founder of Match.com, Fran Maier and the founder of YoPro, Dr. Ty Richardson. Attendees will then be given a chance to apply their learning to their personal lives and subsequently be treated to a session on networking tips and tricks, followed by a treasure hunt as part of the final networking activity.

“With the next generation of graduates and young professionals focused on advancing their careers in this economic climate and looking for cool and unique experiences to do so, we’ve designed a valuable experience to achieve just that. This is so much more than an event, it’s an experience that fixes everything wrong about networking events today; we guarantee it,” said CEO, Dr. C. Ty Richardson.

The YoPro Xperience will be held on October 17^th, 2013 in San Francisco starting with an intimate lunch at 12:00pm to 2pm, then an experience from 2:00pm to 6:30pm, followed by networking form 6:00pm to 9:30pm.
