CEO Luncheon Series - Anchorage Daily News feat. Ryan Binkley

Featuring:
Anchorage Daily News CEO Ryan Binkley

At the YPG's CEO Luncheons, you'll have the unique opportunity to personally network with, hear the CEO's: "How They Got To Where They Are Now" story, as well as ask any questions and advice from the CEO/President/GM of billion dollar corporations, international companies, successful local entrepreneur startups, and leaders with years of experience from various industries across Alaska.

The lunch with the CEO is at a location of their choosing, and the CEO also provides the lunch, so it's always a different experience.

The lunch is limited to create an experience that is much more personal and informal. You'll also be able to network with the other motivated young professionals from around Anchorage.

RSVP is on a first-to-register basis and is limited to 15 attendees!

Registration closes at 5 pm, the day before the event.
