Meeting Support Institute

This workshop is aimed at “elevating the conversation” for a select group of WEC participants. Specifically created for more advanced and ambitious in-house and third-party planners, it will provide an overview of the concept of meeting design. The meetings industry has been, up to this point in its history, primarily focused on excellence in meeting logistics. Meeting design, on the other hand, addresses the ways in which meetings can be more interactive, engaging, and strategic.

This Master Class includes an interview with Maarten Vanneste, CMM author of 'Meeting Architecture, a manifesto' (MSI 2008)

The FLF is a professional development program for 30 select students who want to learn from top industry leaders.  The program is designed for students interested in making a career in the meetings industry and gives participants valuable insight into industry trends and strategic elements important to the industry. Students have the opportunity to meet with and learn from other students and MPI members.
