This year’s Annual Meeting marks the beginning of a new chapter for MPI/NE.  The year of transition is OVER! We are moving forward and striving for a “BOLD NEW YOU”!  We will welcome our keynote speaker, Bruce MacMillan, President and CEO of MPI, to share with us his views about the ever changing meeting industry, specifically during the last year and most importantly, his vision for the future of MPI International and how it will affect the New England Chapter.

MPI/NE is moving forward with a “bold new you initiative”. We are bringing together our community with new enhanced education and development of our marketplace.  We have heard our member’s feedback and we want to deliver valuable programs in the coming new year!

In addition to promoting our new initiatives, we will recognize and reward our prominent members and volunteers for their time, dedication, and hard work that have helped our chapter move forward in reaching our goals and our mission. During the awards ceremony, we will honor the achievements of deserving MPI/NE volunteers as Meeting Professional(s) of the Year, Tomorrow’s Leader, Chapter Leader of the Year and scholarship awards.

We will also take the opportunity to “Thank” and “Welcome” our outgoing and incoming President & Board of Directors.  We will all join together to witness their pledge to us, as members and as a community for MPI/NE.

Join us in our celebration and bring your clients, prospective members, friends and family! Buy a table and make it an evening!  Table opportunities will only be available during pre-registration.  So don't miss out!  Become a part of the "New Beginning" as we help you to discover a  "Bold New You!"
