Breakfast, Brainpower & Big Conversations at the Renaissance

The MPI St. Louis Chapter kicked off the morning in style with our recent Breakfast & Education Session at the stunning Penthouse Ballroom of the Renaissance St. Louis Airport Hotel — and what a morning it was! With skyline views, fresh coffee, and even fresher ideas, industry pros gathered for a high-energy session that fed both mind and spirit.

A huge thank you to our amazing sponsors Technical Productions, Inc. (TPI) and the Renaissance St. Louis Airport Hotel for making the magic happen.

The spotlight of the morning was on Tim Hines, global speaker, business coach, and author of The Marketing Starter. With his talk, “The Future is Human,” Tim lit up the room with real talk on real connection—something we all crave in today’s tech-heavy world. From human-first communication strategies to building lasting trust, he shared eye-opening (and actionable!) ways to create deeper relationships with our teams, clients, and communities.

The room was buzzing with insights, laughter, and plenty of “aha” moments—plus the bonus of reconnecting with familiar faces and meeting new ones.

Missed this one? Don’t worry—we’ve got plenty more where that came from. But next time, trust us: you’ll want to set your alarm.
