Past Events
52nd Annual Conference and Exhibition Happy Hour
The Florida Section A&WMA Young Professionals group kicked off the 52nd Annual Florida Section Conference with their first annual Happy Hour Networking event at Tampa Bay Brewing Company (TBBC) in Ybor City on Tuesday, October 25, 2016. YPs and YPs-at-heart came together to enjoy craft beer and delicious appetizers. The group had so much fun on Tuesday that we hopped back over to TBBC the next night after the conference.
This event brought together students, regulators, and professionals from a wide range of industries and it was great to get to know colleagues in a relaxed atmosphere over stouts, IPAs and pilsners. This marked the first YPs event for the Florida Section. We look forward to continuing this event and hope to continue to grow the Young Professional group within the section. Thanks to the Florida Section Board of Directors for supporting this event and the newly formed YPs group.
