YCL News: THANK YOU for Attending YCL & yBILD Networking Mixer at The Fifth Inc.!
|
|
On Thursday, November 21, 2019, the YCL and yBILD Committee hosted its first-ever joint networking event - A Different Kind of Mixer - at The Fifth Inc. (PizzaFace) in downtown Toronto, and it was a tremendous success!
Over 300 young construction professionals representing the residential and ICI community signed up to attend, making it one of their biggest pub night events to date.
After registering,
the young professionals made a quick stop to pose and smile for the cameras by the YCL and yBILD backdrop before socializing and indulging in food and drinks. A live DJ spun a mixture of old and new hits for the evening.
It was great partnering with the yBILD Committee to make this unique opportunity happen, and we look forward to working together again soon!
THANK YOU to everyone who participated and helped to make this event a huge success!
