MyROI

MyROI Provides Individual Meeting Value Reports To Meeting Professionals Unique Benefits Never Before Available

MPI, responding to the increased need for attendees to document the benefits and value - the Return On Investment - produced by their organization’s investment in their attendance at WEC, has partnered with MeetingMetrics to offer MyROI. This unique service provides you with a personalized report on the knowledge and skills derived from your participation in WEC, your application of those skills to your job, and the resulting impact on your job performance. MyROI also provides you with a comparative analysis of the average ROI results of other WEC attendees.

Attendees of MyROI will receive online support from MeetingMetrics, including pre-conference planning guidance, an ROI form to complete 60-90 days after WEC , and, upon receipt of the completed form by MeetingMetrics, a personal, confidential, detailed 12-page MyROI report.  The report, based upon ROI Institute methodology, includes a computed ROI, quantifying the financial value resulting from your WEC attendance.

Your MyROI report provides guidance for analyzing the information it contains, plus a personal action planner to help you extend the benefits of WEC.  It will be an invaluable help in underscoring the value of the WEC experience to your organization’s decision makers, and will provide a benchmark for expectations of value for future education events and programs.

MPI recommends every attendee take advantage of this extraordinary, much needed, new service.
