ABOUT EYP LONDON: 

EYP members come from all over the world: so it provides a unique networking platform. The organisation is for all business professionals who are young at heart, rather than defined by age. EYP London is planning to organise 12 networking evenings in London in 2007 as well as a minimum of three business seminars with successful entrepreneurs.  

EYP was founded for expatriate professionals in Thailand in 2005. EYP London is the first European division of the organisation and long term goal of European Young Professionals is to have an affiliate in every major city in the world. 

The aim of EYP London is to provide all young professionals living and working in London with series of high-profile networking opportunities. The EYP vision is to be innovative, supportive, diverse and to offer a unique, valuable networking experience to all members of EYP London.

According to Andy Lopata, one of the UK's top authors and professional speakers in the field of networking and referral skills, "Networks such as the European Young Professionals provide great opportunities for professionals to share knowledge and build long term relationships. It is great to see organisations such as EYP encouraging younger people to be more proactive in taking these opportunities." 

EUROPEAN YOUNG PROFESSIONALS (EYP) LONDON LAUNCH ATTENDED BY 750 PROFESSIONALS 
 

EYP London is bringing people together and providing an active support network to all young professionals living and working in London.

European Young Professionals (EYP) launched its London chapter on January 10, 2007.

 
The physical event, held at No. 5 Cavendish Square was attended by more than 550 young professionals from over 45 countries and the virtual event in Second Life (www.secondlife.com) was attended by more than 200 EYP members from all over the world.

The people in both venues interacted, chatted and danced with each other, thanks to a webcam installed at the venue. Both the London and the Second Life attendees could also enjoy complimentary Cobra beer and Sputnik Vodka.

Nick Jonsson, a founder of EYP says, "The aim of EYP London is to provide all young professionals living and working in London with series of high-profile networking opportunities. The EYP vision is to be innovative, supportive, diverse and to offer a unique, valuable networking experience to all members of EYP London." 

Nick added, "We could not believe the interest for the launch event. We thought that we could attract lots of professionals but never people from over 45 countries."
