Meeting Professionals International (MPI) announces the partnership with the Canadian Tourism Commission (CTC) and its partners—Travel Alberta, Tourism Montreal, Tourism Ontario, Tourism Toronto, and Vancouver Convention & Exhibition Centre—to fully subsidize MPI’s 2006 Platinum Series education program to its 67 chapters and clubs.
MPI’s chapters are a primary professional development resource for a large percentage of its members, as the vast number of members do not attend one of MPI’s international meetings. This partnership enables MPI to continue providing quality career education at the chapter level at a minimal expense through the Platinum Series program.
The Platinum Series was originally sponsored through the Hilton Hotels’ Connections 2000 contribution to the MPI Foundation, and the support of United Airlines. Now an integrated component of MPI’s professional development department and part of the association’s continued commitment to providing top-notch education, the Platinum program is a series of exceptional education programs available to MPI members and non-members in their own backyards. Topics cover ROI, technology, leadership, legal issues and much more.
“The Canadian Tourism Commission is fully committed to the importance of professional meeting planning and the necessity of high-level, quality education for the success of the meetings industry,” said Dan Meleslurgo, executive director, Meeting, Convention and Incentive Travel Sales, Canadian Tourism Commission. “MPI is renowned as the leading meeting professional organization, and we value this partnership and the continued development of the role of the meeting professional by supporting the education available to its members.”
