Welcome to the November/December 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.
Year in Review
In our Year in Review, we take a look back at significant MPI milestones from 2021, discuss MPI’s future with leaders Bonnie Carlson and Gary Schirmacher (2022 chairs of the MPI International Board of Directors and Global Board of Trustees, respectively) and ask a cross section of meeting pros for views on the meetings landscape as a new year begins and a pandemic hopefully draws to a close.
