24 June: MPI UK and Ireland Chapter is inviting meeting industry professionals to join them at its annual Summer Charity Party. The event will take place at HMS President on Monday, 15 July (6pm-10pm).
The chapter’s annual flagship event will provide an opportunity for guests to meet the chapter’s new board members, including in-coming President James Samuel. The party will also feature Tom Griffin from The Mark of Leader, showing industry professionals how they can use the power of stories and storytelling to drive leadership with everyone in an organisation.
During the evening, funds will be raised for the Presidents Charity – Meetings Industry Meeting Needs, which supports worthy causes relevant to the events industry. From each registration, £10 will go towards this charity and The BNC Event Shows has donated a special picnic hamper as the top raffle prize. To make the MPI Summer party complete, a top London club DJ will be spinning the decks.
Samme Allen, current president of the UK and Ireland Chapter and head of sales at the Barbican, comments: “The Summer Charity Party is a fantastic opportunity to network, learn and find out more about what MPI can do for you. It will also provide guests to meet the Chapter’s new board members and to thank volunteers for their hard work over the last year. We are particularly delighted to welcome Mark of a Leader and hope industry professionals will take advantage of such a high quality and informative networking opportunity. Places are limited so we advice people to register early so they don’t miss out on this wonderful event.”
Sponsored by HMS President, Mark of a Leader, EIBTM, International Confex and the Barbican, the party is open to members and non members who are interested in finding out how the organisation can help their professional and educational development and the resources available to them through membership.
