He British Computer Society Young Professionals Group(YPG) was formed in 1986(although, its roots date back to around 1983) to provide representation and support to younger members of the IT profession.[citation needed.
Today the group is one of the largest and arguably one of the most influential young professionals groups in the UK, with over 26, 000 members. The group organises events and provides services from lectures and debates to networking evenings, various competitions, college bursaries and awards.
Whilst support is provided from the British Computer Society, the group’s leadership is run primarily by volunteers from the younger membership of the British Computer Society which form the YPG’s Executive Committee and network of regional representatives.
