YP Unite Summit History:

In 2013, leaders from Kentucky’s young professional’s groups gathered at the state’s capitol for the first time to share best practices and hear from some of the state’s political leaders and business executives while discussing how to work together to make Kentucky better at attracting and retaining young talent. After an incredible meeting, the groups present decided they would convene each year, and the event should be expanded to reach similar young professional organizations throughout the region. In 2014, the YP Summit was kicked off by celebrating the 15th anniversary of The Young Professionals Association of Louisville at Churchill Downs.
