What is YEP UAE?
YEP UAE stands for ‘Young Entrepreneurs in Property UAE’ and we are a not for profit group that organises not only networking events, but free talks and discussions for young professionals on issues from all aspects of the construction and property industries. 'YEP' began in London in 2002 and has since established groups in Manchester, the UAE and more recently Hong Kong, Brisbane and Sydney.

Who is YEP UAE for?
YEP UAE is geared towards younger professionals within the UAE who are actively working within the property and construction industries.

The YEP UAE Mission
Our mission is to:
• be recognised as one of the leading forums for young professionals in the UAE for the property and construction industries.
• promote the property and construction industries by providing context for our day-to-day work.
• help develop the knowledge of our members that will enable them to become the business leaders of tomorrow.
• be a forum for young professionals to come and meet other like-minded individuals and share their views and experience of the property and construction industries.
• provide newcomers to the UAE with a forum to meet fellow young professionals living within the UAE, and to make some friends!

YEP UAE Events
YEP UAE organises events every other month on a chosen Wednesday, in Dubai with ad hoc events in Abu Dhabi. These events range from simple social-networking events to free talks by industry leaders on a variety of topics.

The next event will be held in January 2012.  Date and location to be confirmed.  We look forward to seeing you in the New Year!
