July Volunteer Spotlight:
Caitlin Gaborow

I was lucky enough to have one of those perfect “this is why I volunteer” moments while sitting in on the Future Leaders Forum at EMEC 2026. There are so many talented emerging event professionals, and it was incredibly impactful to hear their stories, to help brainstorm solutions to their challenges, and to celebrate their wins. MPI is first and foremost a community, and volunteering has been my favorite way to interact with my community members.

– CAITLIN GABOROW MPI Upstate New York Chapter Member and
Volunteer of the Emerging Professional Advisory Council (EPAC)
