The 2017 Kansas YP Summit is being held in Wichita, KS for the second year! The theme of the 8th annual Summit is “Ad Astra.” This year’s theme is all about overcoming challenges to accomplish lofty personal, professional, and community goals.

Our keynote speaker will be Nicole Roundy, an eight-time Paralympic medalist in adaptive snowboarding. Multiple breakout sessions  will be offered on topics that provide YPs with tools to take back to their workplace and community organizations, as well as provide inspiration.

A pre-summit social will be held on Thursday, May 4, from 5:30 p.m to 8:00 p.m. It will offer a chance for young professionals to network and socialize with peers from across the state while enjoying a unique Wichita attraction. More information will be shared about this as we get closer to the Summit.

The 2017 Kansas YP Summit is scheduled for May 5 at the Hyatt Regency Wichita. The registration fee is $60 (through 4/22), and $75 late (through 5/1). It includes the pre-summit social, continental breakfast, lunch, and snacks on the date of the summit. If individuals are unable to attend the whole summit but would still like to hear the keynote presentation, tickets are offered at $30 for the keynote luncheon only.
