Our education events such as Knowledge Shares, Signature Luncheon and Industry Xchange provide the opportunity to learn from your peers as well as from subject matter experts in the meetings and events industry and beyond. Networking opportunities are infused in every MPI-CAC event, though it takes center stage in our special events such as the Member Meetups, Golf Classic and our annual rotating special event. We never miss an opportunity to recognize the best in the industry and that is never more evident than at the Annual Awards Recognition Celebration.

Join us at Morton’s The Steakhouse for our first MPI Chicago Area Chapter Member Meetup of 2026!
Member Meetups are designed to foster genuine connections, whether you’re new to MPI or have been part of the chapter for years. This evening is an opportunity to step away from the busy workday, share experiences, and build relationships with fellow meeting and event professionals in a relaxed, welcoming setting.
You’ll have the chance to:
Enjoy cheeses, crudité, and your first glass of red or white house wine, courtesy of our friends at Morton’s. Additional food and beverages will be available for purchase.
We look forward to welcoming you and kicking off a year focused on connection, care, and community.
