Following a networking break where attendees reflected and gave feedback upon the benefits of attending the CYPN meetings, Michelle and Brett randomly selected an attendee from the gift bag to win a Christmas hamper for their office to thank them for their feedback.
The next CYPN will be held in 2025 - date and location to be confirmed.
Thank you to 40+ professionals that attended this CYPN, we look forward to seeing you all next year!
