My decision to join MPI was fueled by a desire to learn and continue to grow my knowledge and skill sets. My background and formal education was not focused in the events industry, so I was eager to join MPI for their educational programming, and the opportunity to learn from industry experts. I’ve attended monthly meetings for various event organizations in the Boston area, and I have always been impressed by the content, creativity, and venue selection that MPI puts forth at their monthly meetings. Having just stepped into my role at VDA Productions, I thought there could not be a better time to become an MPI member! Another motivation for joining MPI was the networking opportunities this presents. Since joining, I have been contacted by several MPI board members, welcoming me to the organization. They have gone out of their way to introduce me to other fellow members, helping me to establish some great connections in my first few times attending!

What advice would you give to potential new member who are on the fence about joining?
