Thanks TikTok for sponsoring our 2022 Christmas drinks! Great to see everybody in December at Café Lux before the break. Here’s you happy team of co-organisers at the event 🙂

We had such a wonderful time during our YPDP summer drinks on July 12! Thanks to our sponsors Flint Global and especially former European Commissioner Sir Julian King for making this a memorable evening!

YPDP is *back* with drinks at Café Lux. We are so looking forward to seeing you all on March 23!

Thank you Numeum for generously sponsoring the event.

At YPDP, we’ve also had to make a switch to virtual events for our young professionals community during the pandemic. Our new “virtual after work drinks” series with Members of the European Parliament has been a great success so far! In May, we welcomed Liberal MEP Moritz Körner and discussed his experiences with the COVID crisis and his digital policy priorities. In October, we sat down (virtually) with S&D MEP Tiemo Wölken to discuss the Digital Services Act, AI, data policy and the upcoming legislative battles on EU tech regulation. In November, we had a great conversation with S&D MEP Eva Kaili on issues ranging from emerging technologies to lawmaking in a politically complex – but motivated! – Parliament. We will continue the series with MEP guests in 2021, so stay tuned! Are you interested in becoming a YPDP member? Send us an email at [email protected]!
