Hello MPI Ottawa Community!

The June edition of MPI BREAKS is here, and we’re focusing on S: Suppliers.

First, mark your calendar for the next MPI Ottawa Chapter event:

CAMP MPI – June 12, 2025 (11:45am: Shuttle bus departs from Hilton Lac-Leamy; 8:30pm: Return shuttle bus arrives at the Hilton Lac Leamy)
Thank you to our Event Partners: Tourism Outaouais and Fairmont Le Chateau Montebello

Join us for a day of activities, fun challenges, and relaxation! All while the board takes a moment to recognize the impact of the incredible volunteers that are the driving force behind all our Chapter is able to accomplish!

If you are interested in spending the night, contact Fairmont Le Chateau Montebello ASAP. We have an amazing rate of $159/night, but rooms are very limited and going quickly!

Shuttle service is available to travel to and from the Fairmont Chateau Montebello on June 12. If spending the night, please drive / carpool, shuttle service will not be available on June 13.

MPI BREAKS

This month, I’m joined by Disa Cameron, Account Manager (Hybrid+ Certified), Encore Canada, to discuss business practices between planners and suppliers.

Disa shares some great tips on collaboration, and shines a light on what led to her receiving the 2024 MPI Ottawa Chapter Supplier of the Year award!

Find these insightful discussions each month on Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, and in your inbox.

Next month we go back to B is for Business and I’ll be joined by Julie Begbie, CMP, Founder of Coherent Solutions, and the 2024 MPI Ottawa Chapter Planner of the Year recipient!
