Purpose and Lead Time
The purpose of the event submission form is to gather all of the information about an MPI Minnesota Chapter event required to successfully…
- Promote the event through the MPI Minnesota Chapter website and social media channels.
- Set up and open online registration.
Begin at least 12 weeks/3 months/90 days prior to the event date.
Allow at least two business days for response at every stage.
Allow for a minimum of eight (8) business days for your submitted Event Setup Form to be reviewed, processed, and implemented. Missing or unclear information will likely result in longer processing and implementation times. Allow longer processing times for events with special registration setups (such as multiple sessions or complex pricing structures).
