March 24, 2026
12:00 PM - 12:30 PM
Zoom Meeting
Organizer
MPI Michigan Chapter

Many events focus on logistics - menus, decor, and venue. This session shows you how to move past the tactical and elevate your role to that of a true business strategist. You will learn:

  • A practical framework for designing events that directly tie into your organization’s strategic objectives and deliver measurable results.
  • A strategy for thinking through your program content, structuring your agenda, and leveraging networking opportunities to maximize impact.
  • Concrete steps for reinforcing key messages before, during, and after the event. 
  • How to implement thoughtful measurement strategies to prove the effectiveness and clear return on investment (ROI) of your work. Stop just planning gatherings and start designing outcomes.
