1 Clock Hour | Domain A: Strategic Planning

Meeting professionals are so over-taxed in the present, they often forget—or don't have the time—to look ahead. Take a moment to preview the future based on MPI's most recent Meetings Outlook research, published quarterly in The Meeting Professional magazine and then discuss the trends that are most affecting you and your peers. Brainstorm ways to start planning for the uncertain future with case studies and best practices from around the globe.

Learner Outcomes:

• Review the forecast for events in the coming year, including budget, attendance and business conditions
• Deep dive into trends that matter and discuss next steps with your peers
• Learn how these trends affect you and the future of your meetings
