The event will take place at the Reliant Center in Houston, Texas from

and participate in a drawing for an Alienware Notebook. Attendees will also receive a free conference session pass to ISA EXPO for the day of YAPFEST and a 50% off coupon for any ISA book that can be used at the bookstore at ISA EXPO.
"It's important for young professionals to have an opportunity to network with each other and with industry leaders," said ISA Director of Convention, Education, and Certification Services Dale Lee.
