Young Technology Professionals
The Young Technology Professionals (YTP) group is a committee of the Institute for Law and Technology. The YTP initiative, led by ILT Advisory Board member Miles Indest (McGuireWoods LLP), aims to create a community that meets the needs of individual attorneys, experts, and other professionals and industry participants under the age of 40 or who have less than eight years of practice or work in their field.
The YTP mission is to offer a diverse platform where emerging technology, IP, and cybersecurity professionals can connect, share expertise, host events to strengthen careers and the industry, and provide a forum for discussion of public policy issues.
