Are you a meeting professional? Are you a supplier for the meetings and hospitality industry? Are you a student trying to figure out your career path? Do you want to learn more about meetings and event management? Are you an association or corporate meetings manager? Are you looking for community and perspective with other meeting professionals? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then YOU BELONG HERE!
I chose the theme this year to remind people how being a member and participating in MPI’s Texas Hill Country Chapter can still be a valuable resource for your career. Professional development seems to have been buried under budgets and excuses since the pandemic. MPI has never wavered from its commitment to education and giving our members the tools they need to succeed and excel in the meetings industry.
The Texas Hill Country Chapter wants to continue to lead the way in educating about the latest technology, safety, best practices, and accessibility to make your events memorable because everyone felt welcomed and it ran flawlessly.
We aren’t here to waste your time. We are here to help you level up and represent yourself with professionalism and integrity. Forget what you think you know about this chapter. Join us with pride and purpose. Help us make 2026 a year of community, excellence and fun!
