November 2019 Advanced Planner Roundtable

MPI Washington State Chapter invites advanced-level planner members & non-members to join us at our upcoming quarterly Advanced Planner Roundtable. The format of the roundtable will be to discuss 3 pre-selected topics for about an hour and then we will have an hour of open discussion on whatever is on our minds. After the roundtable, please join us for the chapter’s quarterly Strictly Social event.

The 3 topics for this roundtable are:

• Planner Peeves: What are yours and what steps do you take to avoid them happening in your events?

• A year and a half after Marriott changed its commission structure, have you noticed an impact to your meetings or the way you do business?  What might still be coming?

• Share your Event Security Best Practices

These roundtables are for high-level PLANNERS ONLY and will allow you to collaborate with like-minded colleagues, discuss issues and solutions unique to you, and have the opportunity for some quality networking at the Strictly Social immediately following!  You will need to register for the Strictly Social separately.

You are an Advanced Planner if you have any THREE of the four below:

• You have worked in a role where full service meeting planning is your primary function for 10 or more years. 

• You have the title of Senior, Manager or Director (or equivalent).

• You act as a lead planner on annual International program(s).

• You act as a lead planner on meetings with a total annual spend of $5 million or more.
