On the Agenda
The Event - MPI Montréal Québec
2019 marks the second edition of MPI's the EVENT, an education event jointly organized and executed by the Ottawa, Toronto, and Montréal & Québec Chapters. 2018 was at the Brookstreet Hotel in Ottawa and saw over 300 attendees participate in the inaugural year. Photos and a recap video are on the EVENT website.
Why Do You Need to Attend?
Simply put, our goal is to do things differently. We want to challenge the "typical" conference format. We are not oblivious to the fact that there are many education and networking choices for meeting & event professionals to invest their resources. The EVENT will utilize peer to peer learning techniques and technology, creative meeting room designs, unique and tried-and-true session formats, all with the intent of fostering participant collaboration on existing ideas, the cultivation of new ideas, and the elevation of the meetings industry as a whole.
