3 Clock Hours | Domain G: Meeting or Event Design
At the heart of any meeting or event is the people. When considering the topic of “People-Centered Event Design” we need to further investigate what this means for the future of our industry. Are keynotes and lectures a thing of the past? Is social learning the new way that people want to engage? Does identity play a greater factor in the way we design events, more so than what is listed on an attendee badge? Are the way our events are designed, people-centric? Join us for our next installment of the Future Forward series as we dive in headfirst and explore what matters most to our attendees not just today, but in 2022 and beyond.

Give the People What They Want! Transformational Values-Driven Hybrid Events | David Allison
Overnight, online events went from being something strange and new to being the new normal. Now that in-person events are possible again, some people can’t wait to meet face-to-face and others will always prefer a digital option. How can you design events that work for both kinds of people!
In this dynamic and fast-paced presentation, David Allison will share the results of a study based on 600,000 surveys. He’s dug deep to the core of both kinds of event attendees to identify the drivers behind their decisions and emotions. Values-driven events are transformational...don’t miss out!

The Spirit of Inclusion goes beyond basic legal compliance to welcoming and embracing the many aspects of diversity and different perspectives that create powerful experiences and environments for problem-solving, innovation, and success.

MPI’s Inclusive Events Strategist certificate focuses on practical actions that meeting professionals on both sides of the marketplace can take to create inclusive environments at their events. Explore the different dimensions of diversity to ensure the full and respectful participation of all participants and attendees, as well as your role as an inclusion broker for the diverse groups you represent.
Explore recent MPI Foundation research conducted by the New York University Jonathan M. Tisch Center of Hospitality and discover where meeting professionals are excelling in the creation of welcoming environments, and the areas where they could improve in enhancing the experience for diverse groups. Meanwhile, gain access to more than 350 best practices for designing and executing inclusive experiences that embrace all your diverse attendees.
MPI’s focus is not on changing individual beliefs or ideas. Our goal is to explore the topic of inclusion and its relationship to the success of events and to provide strategies and actions that you can take to create inclusive experiences.

An event is only as great as its attendee participation. Getting robust, enthusiastic attendance can be hindered by logistics, budgets, distractions, and health concerns. Often overlooked are more subtle attendance blockers such as an awareness gap, a language gap, or a passion gap. We will look at recent successes in managing all of these barriers. As a case study, we’ll interview Jennifer Sills who has innovated ways for her non-profit www.csnk2a1foundation.org to reach and attract a hard-to-serve global community.
You will learn how to:
Recognize and minimize attendance blockers in your event design and execution
Identify opportunities to increase awareness and passion in prospective attendees.
Master techniques to attract underserved, global community members
Leverage human factors to increase word of mouth, pre and post-event contact, and engagement.

Contracting and negotiation are crucial—yet complex—roles for meeting professionals and understanding legal terminology and common contract clauses (and the liabilities they protect against) allows meeting professionals to negotiate from a position of strength. Even if you know what to look for, contracting is dynamic, and negotiation strategies change with market conditions, competition, and the economy. Solid knowledge of contract law and negotiation tactics enables meeting professionals to protect the interests of their organizations. With knowledge comes power, especially when it comes to legal matters.
Negotiating contracts involves managing financial and liability risks and protecting your business, particularly when considering the performance clauses (attrition and cancellation) that are standard in most venue contracts. No contracts are the same; words and phrasing vary and need to be carefully reviewed and edited. Sometimes, additional clauses must be added to balance the risk and liability between parties. And what of force majeure, indemnification, and the host of clauses that deal with issues that range from nuisances to calamities, such as construction and remodeling and incompatible groups?
It’s said the only right answer in the law is “it depends.” This certificate program will illustrate legal principles with examples from the news, the instructor, and your peers. Bring success and horror stories to share with other participants, enhance your legal knowledge, and fulfill your role to negotiate contracts that protect your organization from the financial and liability risks associated with your meetings and events.

Women play key roles in the hospitality and meeting industries, but many find it challenging to move into leadership positions. In fact, recent studies show that women are 28% less likely to get an executive-level position even if they possess the skills that make other job applicants attractive candidates for CEO, COO, CMO , and CFO positions. What are the skills necessary to be considered for these types of high-level leadership roles, and how do they translate to the level of leadership you seek for your current and future career?
Learn about the key roles women play in the hospitality and meeting industries and how to overcome career obstacles to executive-level positions—or the right-fit leadership level for you. Review and learn from real-life case studies of women who have overcome adversity to excel in the meetings space, while maintaining the right balance for their personal and professional lives. Examine what skills they possess, the decisions they made and what actions they took to enable their industry leadership.

Conferences and tradeshows are ideal platforms to extend into year-round communities. It's in no way a replacement for the "in real life" (IRL) event, but rather an extension of the event community that is already in place. And it can be incredibly lucrative and high margin! The key is to create communities that bring buyers and sellers together through the gravity of member benefits and learning. Help members see the "what's in it for me" and find ways to work your community into their daily workflow, and you will multiply your profits and crush your retention goals. And the good news... Your event will grow as a result of your community-building efforts, and you will have built a moat around the asset to protect from competitors. A community is strongest when it is fortified with multiple formats for members to engage with. Think of these media formats as pillars holding up the community. These formats included: Online training, certification programs, virtual events, industry award programs, SAAS businesses, research, database products, validation services, publishing models, peer learning, online marketplaces, and sponsored/membership businesses -- just to name a few! This session will dive into each of these formats and use specific examples to help stimulate ideas on how to launch minimally viable Communities (MVCs) to expand your event asset into a high margin, high retention community.

According to the Future of Jobs report from the World Economic Forum rapid changes and advancements in technology are radically changing the skills organizations need from employees—and that was before the pandemic accelerated the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The jobs of today and tomorrow require less tactical and logistic work (as automation and AI absorb tasks) and more human skills like creativity, emotional intelligence and persuasion.
Pre-pandemic, the World Economic Forum predicted that more than half of workers would require significant re- and upskilling by 2022, and while the global health emergency forced many meeting professionals to increase their proficiency in “tech fluency,” many haven’t considered how other future-ready skills are becoming increasingly critical for their roles and their businesses.
Join MPI’s first Future Skills Summit for a crucial look at the skills hiring managers say are gamechangers across sectors and consider who those skills are key for the meeting strategist jobs of tomorrow. We’ll discuss how human skills are supplanting tactical ones, why “skill instability” is the buzz word for 2022 and how you can prepare by focusing your professional development on the irresistible skills of tomorrow.
Then, we will deep dive into three core skills that experts say will have deliberate and urgent impact on the meeting and event space and share core knowledge and build proficiency so that you can apply next practices to your role, your meetings and your business immediately.
Curious what those skills are? Join us on October 22nd to find out.

As automation and AI increasingly create efficiencies in the modern workforce, meeting professionals must embrace a role that is shifting increasingly into the strategic space. But what does that mean, and what future-ready skills are required to thrive in an environment where you do have a seat at the table? The first steps are understanding the value that your meetings drive for your business, and more importantly, being able to articulate that value to senior members of your organization.
You need to be able to create, design, and execute meetings that help your organization achieve five-year business goals and key performance indicators (KPIs) and that drive efficiency in the workplace, and you must be able to demonstrate in quantifiable ways how your meetings positively impact revenues, profits, and cost-savings for your business. You are no longer a meeting planner; you are a strategist that drives significant growth for your organization, and you know how to articulate that value in meaningful ways to business leaders.
Meeting professionals must understand the value of their events to ensure that they successfully achieve business goals and objectives, justify costs, design authentic and deliberate experiences, and improve their events over time. Understanding and demonstrating the role meetings play in driving organizational growth and effectiveness is an integral, future-ready skill that fuels better, more strategic meetings and events and motivates businesses to look at their meeting managers as strategic and essential players on senior leadership teams.
You can be a key player and business leader in your organization … if you position yourself as a strategist and consultant who can drive growth and value through the utilization of an important business tool—meetings and events.

The Event Data Analyst course can best be described as a practitioner’s journey from problem identification to the presentation of recommendations.
As our roles continue to evolve within the meetings industry, becoming more strategic is at the core of our evolution. But what does it mean to be strategic?
Being strategic is not only a critical attribute of leadership but also involves the ongoing practice of making informed decisions, which are based on data, not intuition. As an event strategist, you need the ability to think critically, with a lens that supports overarching goals. You need to be able to extract insights from data and determine the next steps. You need to compare and contrast solutions. You need to form and communicate recommendations in ways stakeholders and executives can easily understand.
