The Forum for Young Professionals (FYP) is now open for application!
26 March 2012
The Forum for Young Professionals is a unique event that brings together 20 international young meetings professionals to share information, connect and to get a new perspective on the global meetings industry. The Forum for Young Professionals is complimentary and the only investment required is time and full participation. As the FYP takes place mainly over the weekend, time out of the office is kept to a minimum.
