MPI So Cal Connect

If you want the expert event for event experts, we’ve been doing it better than anyone for 50 years. In 2020, while others paused, MPI pushed forward. While others were indecisive, we innovated, continuing to host safe and successful in-person events.

You know that networking is key if you're an event planner or supplier. And what better way to network than at a fun, festive event? So, on April 7, 2022, MPISCC held its annual Global Meetings Industry Day (GMID) 2022 event at Two Bit Circus in Los Angeles, California. As we recognized GMID 2022, it offered MPISCC a great way to celebrate the importance of meetings and events through fun activities, food & drinks, raffle prizes, and seeing friends and meeting new people in the meeting & event planning industry.
