YEP UAE
YEP UAE has been running since 2009 in the UAE, primarily in Dubai. Over the years, a number of events have been held including networking drinks, guest presentations, and golf days.
In the past, guest speakers including: James Lyall, Director, Hill International; Jason Goddard, General Manager (MENA), Johnson Controls; Ben Corrigan, CEO, BlueHaus; Steven Velegrinis, Perkins + Will; Bart Leclercq, Head of Structures, WSP and Nadine Bitar, Founder, Placemaking have provided insightful contributions to our events.
From the early days of YEP, it was an ambition to bring the YEP brand and its values to the Middle East, and where else but Dubai, iconic for its skyscrapers, high-rise buildings and unique construction industry. In order to continue attracting worldwide talent into the real estate and construction sector, it is crucial that young professionals have a forum to grow their network and continue to build their careers.
Now home to the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, and soon to be hosting the World Expo 2020, it is more important than ever that the future leaders of property and construction have a voice, which is where YEP comes in. The unprecedented and unparalleled pace of construction in Dubai means it is essential to share knowledge and best practice, which YEP excels at.
Following a brief two-year hiatus, we are proud to be relaunching YEP UAE on Wednesday 16 November 2016 with a major relaunch event. Please sign up below to register for this event. We are also planning an ambitious series of events for 2017 so please sign up as a YEP member to get all details of future events direct to your inbox.
