Designing the New Face of MACE
By Cristina Charron, CMP
The challenges we have been facing this year in our industry will likely continue into next year. As the leading MPI chapter, we are committed to embracing these challenges in a positive manner, learn how to adapt and grow stronger together.
There are still many things to get excited about, and we hope you’ll agree that our new approach to planning our annual regional education conference and expo, soon to be formerly known as MACE, is one of them!
Many of you participated in our focus groups to help rethink MACE. Our chapter board unanimously agreed with the consensus of our members; the dual experience offered via a bold and immersive hybrid conference is the best way forward. This means we intend to present a conference for both in-person and virtual participation. The venue we select will uphold the highest safety standards for the current climate to help us deliver a worry-free in-person event. For those who are more comfortable with a virtual experience, rest assured we will partner with a platform provider that will facilitate an engaging, informative, collaborative and fun experience.
Hopefully you participated in the naming contest last month for our regional education conference. The winner and new name will be announced at the Oct. 16 E2 MPI educational session.
