The Craft Tasting Room & Growler served as a perfect location to host the young group of rising professionals. The unique interior, architecture, and premium location offered a perfect combination of professional networking and late week decompression that many strive for. Dan Davis, owner and operator of the Craft Tasting Room, gave the audience an impactful rendition of just how challenging, even the greatest ideas, can be. He was able to turn a dilapidated old warehouse into one of Southend’s premier hot spots, for an afternoon snack or adult beverage. His up and down success story, from inception to realization, is something many throughout the industry have experienced at one time or another.

The inaugural YLG Networking Social was a success. The level of spirited energy seen, can only be attributed to the type of intelligent, work hard, play hard young professionals the ULI YLG are able to attract.
