Greetings MPIOC! I had the privilege of joining the Membership team at the Annual CHOC Walk in the Park on August 27th at the Disneyland Resort. It was a very early morning, but so worth it when one realizes the enormous effect a group has when it comes to giving back. Our MPIOC group looked beyond ourselves to give to kids in need. The act of giving should be an encouragement to us all. Our small, but mighty team was able to give pearls of kindness to a very deserving organization in our community. So, as you gather your pearls of wisdom, be sure to also give pearls of kindness to one another. I encourage you to share your pearls this year through social media and our e-news updates. I look forward to seeing you soon at one of our many events this year! Warmest Regards, Heather Even, CMP, MA Please Join Us in Celebrating our July, August & September Milestone Members!

2017 MPI World Educational Congress Experience This past June, I attended my very first WEC as a hosted buyer. This year’s theme: STOP PLANNING MEETINGS, START CREATING EXPERIENCES, sure delivered. We had experience after experience at the luncheons, dinners and afterglow parties. Our So Cal Chapters were well represented and the turnout was the largest ever. It was wonderful networking with planners of all kinds and suppliers from all over the world to share ideas and make some new friends. Based at the MGM Grand, there were many daily, offsite venues and hotels used to entertain, educate and wow attendees. One was The Fremont Street Party offering a glimpse at all the improvements, entertainment, hotels, attractions and innovative cuisines offered downtown in old Las Vegas, co-hosted by theLas Vegas Tourism Authority. I was excited to hear later that I had won a 3-day Vegas getaway provided byThe Fremont Street Experiencewhich includes the following:
While at the 4-day WEC the many valuable and inspirational educational breakout sessions were a highlight for me and worth enduring temps reaching up to 120 degrees! I was already grateful to have been able to attend, so to win a prize was a really nice surprise. The amazing speaker presentations, variety of trending topics, a useful app and the varied formats sent me home ready to work even harder.
