Message of the President

Dear Members, Chapter Sponsors and Supporters,

It is an honor to serve as the President of MPI British Columbia Chapter, and I am excited for the journey ahead with all of you. As we step into this year together, I want to take a moment to reflect on the power of what we do.

At MPI, we believe that "When we meet, we change the world." This simple yet profound statement captures the essence of our industry. Every event, conference, and connection we create has the power to inspire, drive business forward, and make a lasting impact on communities both locally and globally.

As we look ahead, it’s clear that our industry is evolving at an unprecedented pace. Artificial intelligence is transforming the way we plan and execute events, global political shifts are reshaping travel and trade, and currency fluctuations are adding new layers of complexity to budgeting and forecasting. In this ever-changing landscape, one thing remains constant: the power of human connection.

MPI is here to help you navigate these changes, equipping you with the insights, skills, and network needed to thrive. Through thought-provoking education, real-world case studies, and collaborative discussions, we will explore how to adapt, innovate, and lead with confidence.

This is a time of great opportunity, and together, we will embrace the future with optimism, agility, and resilience. Let’s meet, learn, and grow—because when we meet, we truly change the world.

Sincerely,

Chris Peters
President
