MPI Cascadia Educational Conference (CEC)

This annual 2 1/2 day conference is a partnership between MPI Washington State Chapter and MPI Oregon Chapter and brings International level education at a regional price! With over 250 participants every year, this program features over 60 hours of education, an innovative Hosted Buyer/Tradeshow program and an incredible Gala that showcases the best the Northwest has to offer. Held the first Sunday to Tuesday in March, the savings of membership pays for itself with this conference alone. For the latest details and how to register, go to CEC's website.

The Hive – Collectively building a stronger Meeting and Event Industry

Produced by volunteers from the MPI Washington State Chapter, the northwest chapters of ESP, WSAE, ILEA, and NACE, this new full day conference is designed to gather the region’s Meeting and Event professionals for an interactive day of education. Tracks from each organization will bring us all together to collaboratively further your event career, inspire your personal growth and open your mind to the infinite possibilities to innovate in our industry.
