On April 6 and 7, MPI Toronto hosted two events in the lead-up to MPI Global’s Global Meetings Industry Day (GMID).

The first event – Connect Up – was a virtual student networking event, which provided an opportunity for over 30 currently enrolled college or university students to connect with leading industry planners and suppliers over Zoom. It featured an opening keynote speaker, Zaman Ishaad, who gave insights into his career path and how the MPI Toronto Chapter helped him transition on his career path from student to professional. We’d like to thank our generous sponsors, D.E. Systems and Ignite magazine.

On April 7, we hosted our Kick-Off event where MPI Toronto members came together to network, unite and lift each other's spirits in these trying times. Carol Priest Entertainment sponsored live music that opened the event, followed by opening remarks from MPI Toronto Chapter President Margaret Binns. Opportunities to win various prizes were sprinkled throughout the event thanks to our generous sponsors. Debbie Van der Beek shared her new community, named “Raindrops on Roses,” that she was inspired to create during COVID. She showcases planners and suppliers and their side hustles on social media. This fun event was closed out with an incredible aerial circus performance by A2D2 Aerial Dance Cirque Co.

Thank you to all of our amazing sponsors including Carol Priest Entertainment, A2D2 Aerial Dance Cirque Co., D.E. Systems and Ignite magazine. Without you, we could not have made this happen!

On behalf of the GMID Committee and your MPI Toronto community, thank you to everyone who attended. We look forward to being able to host an in-person GMID event for MPI Toronto members in 2022.
