MPI Ottawa Chapter | Roundtables

MPI Ottawa Chapter Roundtables — We’re Back and Bigger Than Ever!

Following the incredible success of our 2025 MPI Ottawa Chapter – MEET Week Roundtables, we’re thrilled to return with an even more dynamic, energizing, and impactful afternoon of learning, sharing, and connection.

Join us for hot-topic roundtables, each guided by stellar facilitators and respected leaders from across our meetings and events community. These sessions are designed to spark frank, honest discussions—the kind where we learn from the best, and most importantly, learn from each other. Expect insight, humour, understanding, and real conversations about the issues that matter most to event professionals today.

Confirmed topics/table facilitators (with others to come!):

DMO’s: Why they should be your best friend – Desmond Lomas

What’s in a planner’s toolkit – Barbara McRae

Welcome to the events industry – Nicole Jeffrey

Unlocking Productivity: How AI integration is transforming daily workflows – Disa Cameron

F&B Allergy plans: There is always something new in them! – Nancy Bradshaw

Wellness – Julia O’Grady

Leadership: Inspire others – Ryan Young

The Entrepreneurial You – Mahoganey Jones

Enjoy delicious afternoon snacks and beverages as you move between tables, gain new perspectives, and deepen your connections within the MPI Ottawa Chapter community. This is one of our most popular events and it’s expected to sell out quickly, so be sure to secure your spot as soon as possible.

Come ready to talk, share, laugh, and learn. We can’t wait to see you there!
