Global Meetings Industry Day 2026

MPI British Columbia was proud to celebrate Global Meetings Industry Day, a day dedicated to recognizing the economic and social impact of business events, conferences, and meetings.

This year’s event brought our community together for a morning of breakfast, networking, and thoughtful conversation, followed by an engaging panel discussion and Q&A with industry leaders from across British Columbia.
