Build your career and your circle, right here in the Valley.
FVYP brings together professionals and entrepreneurs 40 and under across the Farmington Valley for creative networking, real connection, and a little fun. No Chamber membership required, everyone is welcome.
What FVYP is all about
A network built for what is next
Farmington Valley Young Professionals was established by the Granby-Simsbury Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the Avon/Canton Chamber of Commerce to bring together professionals and entrepreneurs age 40 and under for creative networking, collaboration, and fun.
It is a place to trade ideas, grow your business connections, and meet the people shaping the future of our community, all in a relaxed, low-pressure setting.
Who it is for
FVYP is open to everyone. Chamber membership is not required. If you are young (or young at heart) and looking to make new business connections, grow your network, or simply meet new people, this is your crowd.
We connect professionals across Granby, Simsbury, Avon, Canton, and West Hartford, so wherever you work in the Valley, you have a seat at the table.
