The annual European Meetings & Event Conference (EMEC) is one of MPI’s signature events through which innovative education, networking and business exchanges are delivered exclusively to MPI’s European community. EMEC features programming and people that allows participants to think and grow in new ways while gaining exposure to sound business practices and the latest trends. All concurrent education is focused around four industry areas and has topical alignment with the CMP International Standards.
At EMEC 2016, speakers and facilitators fully embraced the Danish Meetovation principles, which ensured participants stayed energized and connected. The result was a high level of learning, comprehension and retention of knowledge.
Individual sessions are available for $34.99 each, or purchase a full virtual conference pass to EMEC that includes access to all 18 sessions worth nearly 20 clock hours of education.
