Welcome to the October Digital Edition of The Meeting Professional
Relevant, provocative and award-winning, MPI’s flagship publication highlights planner and supplier members while showcasing best practices, trends, destinations and industry leadership. It does this all through in-depth reporting and creative design.
This issue features keeping attendees safe through duty of care and communications, the reimagining of the live event at WEC Grapevine and uniting by tackling topics that make us uncomfortable.
From the Editor: Moving the Needle
We’re about to find out if one of the most anticipated campaigns in 2020 will be a success. Nov. 3 is Election Day in the U.S., but it’s also the start of MPI’s WEC Grapevine. We will gather, whether in person or by proxy, to learn what the future holds for us.
Let’s Exemplify What It Means to Be United
There are many topics that make us all uncomfortable. Topics we are told never to discuss because of their potential to cause division. Yet, here we are in 2020, very divided, and it’s apparent we must tackle our discomfort without pads or a helmet. Let’s begin with politics.
The Live Event Reimagined
WEC Grapevine will feature a mix of in-person education and a robust digital experience anchored by a five-hour block of live content. The goal is to show meeting and event professionals how to safely align the best of both platforms.
Gathering Safely in 2020
A desire to keep stakeholders safe from contagious viruses onsite is top of mind for event professionals. Here, industry professionals share what they’re experiencing with duty of care and communications, and we reveal valuable resources to keep you informed throughout this fluid situation.
