In case you missed it...

Last month we hosted two amazing webinars for our members:

On August 10, planners and suppliers gathered virtually for Open for Business! Guests Welcome. A Panel Discussion on Venue Re-Opening and Safety Standards. The hour-long panel was made up of a diverse collection of venue managers with audience Q&A handled throughout.

Then, on August 27, MPI Southern California was joined by a very special guest – Leland Melvin, the only person to catch a pass in the NFL and walk in space for Chasing Space: An Astronaut's Story of Grit, Grace, and Second Chances?

Why I Love MPI

By: Haley Powers, CMP
Principal, InSiteful Meetings

MPI Member Since 1982

Past Board Member MPISCC

In February 2020, I became a 38-year member of MPI. I can’t begin to tell you the value of my membership – both personally and professionally. When I joined MPI in 1982, I was a supplier with a hotel company searching for new business from MPI. My rewards by joining have gone way beyond any expectations I might have had.

I have gained lifelong friendships, job opportunities, training and education, exposure to every possible venue imaginable, including new venues that open every year. I have met and continue to meet people who have inspired me and have taught me that the meeting business is just beginning and continues to grow.
