MPI is proud to partner with leading organizations across the meeting and event industry through our Business Membership Program. These companies invest in professional development, collaboration and community—helping their teams grow while strengthening our industry.

Designed for organizations with five or more employees, Business Membership is owned by the company (not an individual), making it easier to manage team participation as roles change. Benefits include discounted dues, waived application and transfer fees and access to MPI education, research, CMP clock hours and global networking opportunities.

“MPI Business Membership enables us to stay closely connected to global industry standards and best practices,” says Cüneyt Gülay, managing director for Prime Kongre Yönetimi ve Turizm Ltd. Şti. “It plays an important role in supporting our continuous development and delivering excellence in international congress and event management.”

Important differences between business and individual memberships include:

Single invoicing and renewal: Business Membership enables one invoice and one renewal for the full group, instead of renewing each membership individual.

Ownership and transferability: The company owns the membership and may transfer it internally as needed (for example, during role changes or turnover). Individual memberships are owned by the member; transfers may incur a fee.

Recognition and marketing: Business Members receive recognition on MPI’s website, including logo placement for added visibility.

Membership discounts: Business Members receive special business membership discounted membership dues and discounted rates to MPI Chapter and Global events. 

“As a past president of the Chicago Area Chapter, MPI has played a pivotal role in my professional growth and network expansion,” says Heather Brown, CMP, DMCP, regional vice president, Midwest for PRA, who was recognized on the “BizBash 500: Most Influential Event Professionals.” “The Business Membership allows PRA to amplify that value by keeping our team connected, engaged and visible across chapters—while strengthening meaningful relationships within an influential community of meeting professionals.”
