The PIANC Congress was a great opportunity to learn and the YPs were actively participating; here is Sebastian Dupray from France asking a question to a presenter..   The Congress also serves as an excellent networking experience. YPs from around the world made contacts with other professionals during coffee breaks and social events.

YPCom organized a "YP Social Hour" at a local pub — here we have a group from Austria and France.   The happy hour proved to be a great time to relax and get to know other YPs. Thanks to the sponsors (such as Moffatt & Nichol and INCA, Inc. from the United States), food and drinks were "on the house"!
