Thought Leaders

Thought leaders are the backbone of the meetings and events industry. They take up a challenge and lay down a roadmap.

And that’s what the MPI Foundation’s Thought Leader initiative is all about: advancing the meetings and events industry at the highest levels through strategic programs that will have a lasting impact on our core business:

Corporate Social Responsibility

Strategic Meeting Management

Business Value of Meetings

Quest for Talent

Future of Meetings

Support of these programs brings value to the industry--and to the companies that support them.The MPI Foundation’s Thought Leaders initiative is designed with maximum flexibility with three investor levels:

Visionary (US$1 million investment or more)

Legend (US$500,000+)

Director (US$250,000+)

An investment at the top levels enables the MPI Foundation to tailor a program to a firm’s business goals and yield the greatest exposure to the largest international network of meeting professionals—a planner community representing some US$16.9 billion in buying power. At every level of support, however, partnering organizations benefit from their association with critical industry initiatives.

MPI members look to its thought leaders for information, resources and vision. There has never been a better time to fill the role of an MPI Foundation Thought Leader and build mutually beneficial partnerships for tomorrow and beyond.
