Young Professionals
Who we are?
Our mission is to support the development of meaningful relationships and a robust network of young professionals in the Data Center and Mission Critical industries.
Why?
Have you ever walked into a room full of Data Center professionals and wished you recognized a few familiar faces amongst the sea of established relationships and the industry experts?
The Data Center Young Professionals of DMV is here to help! By creating the environment with other folks who have this same experience, our goal is to establish a network of young professionals in the mission critical industry who can walk into a DC event with confidence and support.
After attending our event(s), we hope that you come away with:
-
- New friends in the industry who can provide support to and advocacy for you!
- The confidence to walk into a room full of established professionals, knowing that you are a networking expert!
- A robust network of professionals you can turn to at any point in your career!
What we do?
Established in January 2022, we held our first event through the generous sponsorship of member companies. We will continue to hold monthly Networking Happy Hour event and will provide information about our next events on our LinkedIn and Facebook Groups below.
