A light breakfast and networking period will be available before the session begins.
Wondering what a YLG Talk is? They are educational sessions with subject-matter experts to speak on a variety of topics. Some sessions have one speaker; some have multiple or cover different topics. The Young Leaders Group organizes the events for the entire HHCA membership (not just young individuals). All YLG Talks feature a light breakfast and lots of time to network, plus they are FREE for HHCA members to attend!
