The Paducah Young Professionals (PYP) will host the fifth annual YP Unite Summit on November 9 and 10. The YP Unite Summit is a multi-state leadership conference focused on young professionals and young professional organizations. This unique opportunity allows young professionals to collaborate, network, share best practices and further develop leadership skills with hundreds of others from across the region. Young professionals from Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Tennessee, Illinois and Missouri are expected to attend.  

The YP Unite Summit will begin on Thursday, November 9 with a welcome reception at The 1857 Hotel & Events Space and continue on Friday, November 10 with a full day of leadership workshops held at the Julian Carroll Convention Center. 

Paducah was selected by a panel of regional young professionals after an application process and panel review. Previous YP Unite Summit conferences have been held in Cincinnati, OH and Louisville, KY.  

Paducah Young Professionals was established in December 2015 and is a division of the Paducah Area Chamber of Commerce. PYP provides social and professional opportunities for emerging leaders, age 21-40. The goal of PYP is to connect, engage and develop our community’s current network of young professionals and entice others to relocate to our community. Through networking, professional development, and community service, PYP members are able to meet and connect with established leaders and like-minded professionals. PYP currently has more than 240 members.
