theEVENT ... Naturally What's Next

theEVENT is MPI’s signature Canadian gathering for business event professionals. 

For three dynamic days (September 14 - 16, 2026) in Vancouver, you’ll engage in high-impact education, meaningful business connections and immersive experiences designed to move your events and your career forward. 

Rooted in the theme Naturally What’s Next, theEVENT 2026 explores how innovation, sustainability, design, and data come together to shape the future of the meeting and event industry. You won’t just hear about what’s next. You’ll experience it.
