2026 Regional Summit
The Greater Grand Forks Young Professionals (GGFYP) are proud to announce the Young Professionals Regional Summit, set for July 28-29, 2026 at the Aleris Center in Grand Forks, ND. Designed to inspire, educate, and connect young professionals from across the region.
The work that GGFYP does is worth a celebration! This special night features music, delicious food, great company, and a business meeting where we look at what we’ve accomplished and where we’re headed as an organization.
Showcasing both up-and-coming and distinguished artists, this annual event gives guests the opportunity to view art from a variety of mediums, mingle with talented local and regional artists, and purchase one-of-a-kind pieces in a fun and social atmosphere.
An annual donation drive where GGFYP distributes orange garbage bags to affluent neighborhoods in Grand Forks with a flyer stapled to it indicating items of need from area non-profits. After a few weeks, the orange bags will be collected, donations sorted, & then redistributed to the participating nonprofits.
This series has quickly grown to be a YP favorite, offering a great way for YPs to catch up with fellow members while learning about a variety of professional development and community building topics.
Thank you to our amazing sponsors!
