About WPNG
The Women’s Professional Networking Group (WPNG) is a multinational networking group of English-speaking professional women living in Lyon and its surrounding area.
Created in 2001, WPNG has just celebrated its 10 year anniversary – a great achievement which demonstrates the commitment of its original founder members.
From September to June, members get together every month to network, to learn something new, to have fun and share business ideas. The meetings are usually held on the second Tuesday of each month starting at 19.00; exact dates and locations can be found on the events & news page.
The first hour is devoted to informal networking around a light buffet provided by all attending members, followed by a presentation, facilitated discussion or workshop.
Come and share your knowledge and experience with other members.
Attend our next meeting for free. If you like us afterwards, you can join on the spot!
