The Knowledge Hub
Go Deeper. Get Smarter.

The Knowledge Hub returns to WEC. It’s the nerve center for MPI Foundation’s five Thought Leadership Initiatives, providing a comfortable and relaxed space in the Global Village for attendees who want to go deep into the many issues they face at different stages of their careers.

See how the MPI Foundation’s Thought Leadership Initiatives can help you learn, connect and become more successful. MPI Team members and Subject Matter Experts will be on hand to answer questions, provide guidance, make introductions and offer assistance in understanding how the initiatives affect the day-to-day experience of our members --and our industry.
 
Computers and wireless service will be available, along with plenty of special giveaways. You’ll also have the opportunity to bid on items in our Silent Auction. Speakers and industry leaders will be stopping by to continue discussions from Knowledge Sessions.
 
The Knowledge Hub is the prime area for networking and continuing education for all Knowledge Sessions and corresponding subject matter. While the spotlight will be on the work, accomplishments and contributions of the MPI Foundation, the subject matter belongs to our entire community. The space, resources and the information are intended to enhance the overall experience of everyone who wants to gain a deeper and richer understanding of education and research results.
 
Get smarter, get connected and find success at the Knowledge Hub with MPI and the MPI Foundation.
