About the Event:
The Second Annual Reno Tahoe Young Professionals Network Leadership Summit brings together over 300 Greater Reno-Tahoe business professionals to “Make the Grade” in their personal and professional lives.  The Summit’s focus will be on the continuum of learning and connecting to the community.  Through learning and connecting with the community young professionals will become more successful in all aspects.

During the day at all refreshment breaks, plan to visit and connect with the many Educational and Youth non-profit organizations in our community who will be a part of this event and support YPN’s partnership with the Pebble Project.
The event kicks off with special guest speaker Darian Rodriguez Heyman, executive director of Craigslist Foundation.  Darian will discuss social entrepreneurship and how young professionals can integrate their non-profit work into their corporate models.  He looks to inspire collaboration by effectively connecting leaders with their communities.
Following the keynote, attendees will participate in three breakout sessions which will focus on educational leadership, mentoring, and the green movement.
Lastly, you won’t want to miss the Reno Gazette Journal’s “20 Under 40″ Awards program followed by a cocktail reception.
