MPI Chicago Area Chapter has many education events throughout the year where you can engage an audience big or small, and expand your presence in the meetings industry!

MPI-CAC is looking for presenters that will invigorate, engage, surprise and inspire audiences at our education events.

  • Personal Development
  • Professional Development

Within that fall the following topics:

  • Women in Leadership
  • Emotional Intelligence
  • Personal Branding
