Meeting Professionals International, Potomac Chapter’s (MPI Potomac) mission is to build a rich global meeting industry community in the Maryland, Washington, DC, and Northern Virginia areas. To further this mission, MPI Potomac will be hosting an Education Day in Fall 2026, to facilitate experiential learning and meaningful connections.
MPI Potomac is an inclusive community of meeting professionals who embrace learning, collaboration and development. The MPI Potomac Chapter strives to consistently reflect the diversity of our members. Thus, all backgrounds, such as, but not limited to, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, gender, socioeconomic status, and individuals with disabilities must be considered in all education content presented.
Established in 1978, MPI Potomac empowers its members to increase their strategic value with education, networking, and business growth opportunities. It is the largest chapter in MPI representing over 600 members in the Washington DC Metropolitan area. Our membership consists of 63% Meeting Professionals (including association/non-profit, corporate, government, and meeting management), 35% are supplier meeting professionals, and the remaining 2% are student members.
We invite you to submit a presentation for any of our program. We are very interested in innovative presentation formats including case studies by meeting professionals, panel discussions, and other cutting edge adult learning formats. We welcome all new ideas and encourage forward thinking presentations.
Currently we are accepting proposals for the programming in 2027. A representative from the Education Team will be in touch about your submission.

All submissions must reflect original work and must adequately document any overlap with previously published or simultaneously submitted presentations from any of the authors. If authors have any doubts regarding whether such overlap exists, they should contact the MPI Potomac VP of Education prior to submission. If submitting multiple proposals for review, you must fill out this form for each proposed program. Please use the appropriate Proposal Form below and follow the instructions provided.

No honorarium is available at this time. Registration may be waived depending on the participation level. MPI Potomac will not reimburse session organizers for other expenses. Organizers are responsible for making these facts clear to persons they invite to participate.
