Social enterprise, YENA (Young Entrepreneur Networking Association), is launching its hugely popular networking and education event in Bath today (12th March).
The event has proved very successful in Bristol.
Taking place at The Guild, this monthly event aims to bring together the young, ambitious talent that the city has to offer.
During the evening, attendees will meet like-minded people and hear from top speakers and influencers. Past speakers at other groups have included IMDb.com’s founder Col Needham and Bristol Mayor, George Ferguson.
When YENA launched, it set out to provide a non-intimidating networking platform for young people with ambition to attend.
Word has spread about YENA and there is already demand from London and other key cities to further expand.
Those who typically attend other groups include young business owners, students and professionals from ages as low as 15 years old (through to 30).
Founder, Ash Phillips who himself is a young entrepreneur, said “The reaction to YENA has been immense. When I started the association, I knew there was a need for it, but not one of this demand.
“I am only too happy to see the group bringing some amazing talent, together in one place. I truly think that the next intertwined network and industries will be formed, nurtured and incubated within YENA groups.
“YENA is also looking for local business sponsors. As a social enterprise and consequently non-profit, the organisation looks to raise funds from generous businesses who wish to make a huge impact on the lives of young people with big dreams.
“This means that we can keep the events free to attend. The leaders of tomorrow come to YENA and it’s our job to deliver the inspiration, connections and services they need to succeed.
“But for that we need monetary support. Get in touch if you want to help – there are a number of different, and affordable, sponsorship packages available.”
