WEC Grapevine Is Still On

Our annual signature North American event, World Education Congress (WEC), is set to open in just three months on June 6 in Grapevine, Texas. Rest assured that Meeting Professionals International (MPI) remains diligent in ensuring that the safety and security of our attendees, staff and operational personnel remains the top priority.
 
With that in mind, there are currently no plans for MPI to cancel or postpone WEC Grapevine as result of COVID-19, the coronavirus.
 
As we move ahead with planning and implementing the programming at WEC Grapevine, MPI will continue to place high importance on facilitating measures that will ensure optimal health and sanitary conditions for everyone onsite during the event.
 
In order to remain informed about the ongoing situation at both the global and local levels, we are monitoring and in constant communication with area Convention and Visitors Bureaus (CVBs), particularly our partners at the Grapevine CVB, partner associations, national authorities, MPI Advisory Councils and MPI’s International Board of Directors.
 
Ongoing updates on MPI plans related to WEC Grapevine, including education and programming, will continue to be available at mpi.org/wec.
 
We believe it is critically important for our community to remain adequately, properly and responsibly informed on COVID-19. As such, we recently launched a devoted page on mpi.org that provides resources for our meeting and event professionals community. In addition to that page, our social media and newsletters (Pulse and NewsBrief) will continue to provide updated, relevant and credible content to ensure our community is well-informed.
