Knowledge Hub

A new and exciting venue at WEC 2010 will be the Knowledge Hub!  Open Sunday through Tuesday from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm the “Hub” allows conference attendees to meet directly with subject matter experts and MPI Knowledge Team members on educational and informational  issues. Featured will be content and experts in person on the targeted thought initiatives of Strategic Meetings Management, Value of Meetings, Global Training and Corporate Social Responsibility. 

Computers in the “Hub” will be available for attendees to download to a flash drive, relevant whitepapers, tip sheets, articles and handouts. The new CSR demonstration tool will be available for preview as well as a sneak-peak at the new Chapter Content Database. Please make a stop at the Knowledge Hub during your break times to meet MPI staff, experts in the field and learn more about YOUR industry!
