Participants on the Hosted Buyer program at WEC report the professional results they’ve come to trust from MPI have continued during this year’s edition in San Antonio.
“I select WEC’s Hosted Buyer program above all others each year because there are no awkward conversations or silence—it’s a one-stop shop for both the supplier and buyer, and they know what they’re talking about,” says Johanna Ong, CMP, HMCC, DES, senior manager for conference and travel services, National Bleeding Disorders Foundation, and one of this year’s hosted buyers.
She says the WEC Hosted Buyer experience is a quick-hit and easy way to meet many excellent suppliers.
“MPI takes care of hosted buyers, which is important for [budget-conscious non-profits—event professionals like me],” she says. “Being a hosted buyer is a really good opportunity for us and I’m very thankful for MPI and the Hosted Buyer program because it allows me to go to WEC, meet with the suppliers and attend the education sessions.”
