Welcome

Meeting Professionals International Georgia Chapter (GaMPI) promises to make the 2008 Meeting Exploration Conference (MEC) our best ever! So, be sure to mark your calendars to attend, April 15 and 16.

We are thrilled to announce our new host venue, The Cobb Galleria Centre, conveniently located in a vibrant and energetic area. This central location in the heart of metropolitan Atlanta makes it easy to engage!

The theme of this year’s conference “become global” emphasizes MPI's vision to build a rich, global meeting industry community. Much thought has been invested into building the MEC agenda around extraordinary opportunities to make you successful by building your connections to knowledge, relationships and marketplaces.

New this year are two General Sessions -- an opening session and a closing session - both featuring outstanding keynote speakers who will inspire and educate you. We continue to have strong concurrent breakout sessions which are sure to help you grow in your position and become your best. Our exhibit hall is over 72,000 sq.ft. and located all in one area. Of course, there will be many networking opportunities, including the ever popular event you don't want to miss, The Gathering!

NOW, please accept my personal invitation to join us at the 2008 MEC! You will be glad you did!
