National Meetings Industry Day on April 15
posted by Brent Taylor on January 21, 2010
I have the privilege of chairing the planning committee for Edmonton’s National Meetings Industry Day celebrations taking place on April 15. Once again MPI will be partnering with the Shaw Conference Centre and Edmonton Tourism to host a breakfast. We are pleased to also have the support of the Chamber of Commerce, CSAE and CAPS. This is an important opportunity for local meeting and event professionals to come together to celebrate our industry. As our industry and profession develops events such as this are important to elevate our industry and educate others on the contributions we make to our economy and community. We are expecting over 500 in attendance this year. All proceeds from this event will be donated to the Second Helping Food Recovery program being spearheaded by Edmonton’s Food Bank.
