Events are the heart of YPK. They are the primary way we connect with, develop, and serve each other and our local Knoxville community. In addition to four quarterly General Membership Meetings, YPK holds a number of professional development, social and community outreach events throughout the year. While most events are open to everyone, certain events are open to members only.

Join YPK in supporting the 24th annual Knoxville Area Urban League’s Shoes for School event! Each year, this event provides new shoes and school supplies for hundreds of Knox County students. Corporate partners, local nonprofits, and community members come together to participate and YPK members have a unique opportunity to be a part of this group. Please join us in distributing folders at the event!
Join us for the August Community Outreach Committee meeting! We will be debriefing the Shoes for School event and discussing fall volunteer opportunities.
Welcome to YPK 101! If you're a young professional looking to grow your network, develop your skills, and make an impact in Knoxville, this event is for you! Whether you're new to the area or a longtime local, YPK 101 is the perfect opportunity to learn how Young Professionals of Knoxville can help you connect, develop, and serve in the community.
Join YPK members to discuss the summer book selection — Mina's Matchbox by Yōko Ogawa! There’s nothing you need to prepare or bring, just your readiness to engage in the book discussion! You don’t have to have finished the book to join, but please know that we won’t avoid spoilers.
Join us for an overnight escape to Cosby Campground in the Great Smoky Mountains for an evening of hiking, campfire hangs, and good company.
This is a great opportunity to connect with other young professionals, share ideas, and discuss practical ways to support our members’ growth. We’ll explore new topics, exchange insights on skill-building, and brainstorm programming that helps individuals develop professionally in meaningful ways.
YPK is hosting our September Social from 5:30–7:30 PM (and probably later), and you’re invited! Swing by after work for a drink, make new connections, network with young professionals around Knoxville, and enjoy the laid-back atmosphere at Maple Hall.
