2026 Annual Holiday Luncheon
The 2026 Annual Luncheon
Come Together & Celebrate the Season!
The IAEE SE, PCMA SE, and MPI GA Chapters’ co-hosted Annual Holiday Luncheon is one of the most popular events on the calendar as the industry comes together to celebrate the holiday season. It is a great occasion to experience wonderful food and beverages, holiday music, and the opportunity to enjoy getting together with industry friends.
The Chapters are continuing with the expanded event, which includes exhibitors and a holiday card signing. This year, we are also proud to support Make-A-Wish Georgia as our selected service organization.

Supporting Make-A-Wish Georgia
The service organization we have chosen to support this year is Make-A-Wish Georgia.
About Make-A-Wish Georgia
Every child deserves the chance to dream, hope, and simply be a child. For children facing critical illnesses, a wish can be so much more than a special moment, it can bring hope during difficult days, strength when it’s needed most, and joy when life feels anything but ordinary.
Since 1995, Make-A-Wish Georgia has made more than 10,000 wishes come true for children in all 159 Georgia counties. With your support, we can help make even more dreams possible for children and their families when they need a little hope the most.
Learn more at wish.org/georgia.
