September Symposium

Are you ready to help MPI MI kick off another successful year? Join us for the September Symposium from 9:30 AM – 2:30 PM at The Westin Book Cadillac Detroit. This event will cover 4 topics that need to be brought to the forefront of our industry:

- Human Trafficking
- Cultural Awareness
- Etiquette Training
- Proper Attire (what counts as “business casual” anymore? Can you wear jeans to meetings? Etc.)

Not only will you benefit from this event but so will a local organization that we chose to partner with (we are working out the details). Additional information on that as well as speakers and an agenda will be announced soon.
