Event Recap: MPISCC State of the Industry by Salvador Farfan

Focus on Black History Month & MPI's New Black Meeting Professional Community
  
Each February, people in the United States celebrate the achievements and history of African Americans as part of Black History Month. Black History Month was created to focus attention on the contributions of African Americans to the United States. 

 

MPISCC recognizes the incredible impact that the Black community makes within the meeting and events industry and throughout the world. With that, we are highlighting the new Black Meeting Professional Community, a dynamic social forum supporting black professionals in the meetings and events industry through an international network of meeting and event planners—available through MPI.
