Can you help the fundraising team to fund a delegate
March 12th, 2008
There are several delegates who we would love to attend IYPS08 but who may not be able to come due to their financial situation. IYPS wishes to fundraise to help delegates from developing countries, who can bring a lot to the Summit, in terms of their passion, skills and experience, to attend. From March to June we are asking IYPF staff and friends to hold fundraising events to try to make this possible. We are also looking fir partner organisations who may be able to fund a delegate. Please contact our fundraising team leader if you can help on cameronneil@iypf.org
Hundreds of applications received to attend IYPS08
February 7th, 2008
The International Organising Committee have received over 300 applications for IYPS08. The delegates team is currently processing these to select successful applicants to go forward to the registration process.
As we have had such a wonderful response, not everyone will be able to attend in person, but don't worry IYPS08 will have lots of opportunity for people to attend online with our "Virtual Summit".
The Organising Committee is extremely excited about the calibre of applicants and the number of people who have offerred to run interesting peer-to-peer workshops during the event. Successful candidates will be contacted shortly with details of the registration process.
The 3rd
International Young Professionals Summit (IYPS) is the flagship
international event of the IYPF. It was first held in 2001, where
the IYPF was born, and was held again in 2004.
The
International Young Professionals Foundation is proud to announce
the third International Young Professionals Summit, IYPS
2008, from 19th to 22nd August 2008 in Manchester, UK.

Millennium Development Goals " and specific topics will include:
