MPI Debuts Educational Programs Geared for Recovery

Meeting Professionals International (MPI) announced two new educational programs that will help guide industry professionals through this challenging time to create powerful opportunities for our profession.

An unprecedented amount of high level, critical information will be made available to a global audience through the two programs: “No Turning Back: A Revolution in the Meetings Industry” and “The MPI Meetings Matter Webinar Series.”

“No Turning Back: A Revolution in the Meetings Industry” is a three-part educational series that will clearly explain the four key elements of strategic value for meetings and events –portfolio management, meeting design, measurement, and advanced logistics.

Recent economic challenges have created the opportunity for a tipping point in the industry, and meeting professionals must be prepared to improve both the efficiency and effectiveness of their investment in meetings and events.

Led by key industry experts Mary Boone of Boone Associates, Jack Phillips of The ROI Institute, and Susan Radojevic of The Peregrine Agency, the “No Turning Back” program begins with an in-depth webinar on April 21 based on Boone’s briefing paper,
The Case for Meetings. The webinar will be followed by a half-day workshop at the July 11 to 14 World Education Congress in Salt Lake City, and conclude with a wrap-up webinar on Aug. 26.

“The MPI Meetings Matter Webinar Series” is an eight-part educational program held once a week, beginning at the end of April and running through June. Through each webinar, MPI will offer real-life solutions to issues that are confronting today’s industry professional. To date, this is the largest, most comprehensive, content focused webinar series MPI has launched.
