| | | | | Chapter News | | The Best of Both Worlds | MPI-CAC plans to hold four education program and networking events in the next 12 months as part of our committment to helping our members grow their careers and build their businesses. These two-part events are scheduled for September 2012, March 2013, May 2013 and July 2013. We are looking for venues to host one or more of these events. If you are a venue that is looking to gain exposure to Chicagoland meeting and event professionals, please consider hosting one of these events. With education and networking all in one day out of the office, you get the best of both worlds by showcasing your business and fun side.
