Get Ready to Tee Off at MPI-CAC Golf Classic

MPI-CAC is busy teeing up for its 24th Annual Golf Classic scheduled for Monday, May 20, at The Grove Country Club in Long Grove.

The day includes a full day of networking opportunities for planners and suppliers alike with breakfast, 18 holes of golf, an interactive afternoon reception and a silent auction filled with amazing experiences and gift cards.

Non-golfers are also encouraged to attend the event and new this year is a food pairing lunch with the course’s executive chef. Non-golfers will learn what beer and wine pairs best with their dishes. Non-golfers can also partake in the afternoon reception which provides various networking opportunities as well as the ever-popular silent auction which features hotel stays, restaurant gift cards and entertainment tickets throughout the country.
