Maximise your membership and join the MPI EMEA Community

Maximise your membership and join the MPI EMEA Community

By Paul Cook

Launching on 26 September is the MPI EMEA Community Forum.

This is one of many benefits that MPI members have access to.

If you are a member of any of the MPI chapters in the EMEA region, just come along and join. There is little doubt that being a member of your local MPI chapter brings many benefits. But there are other ways to make the most of your membership and that includes being connected to other event professionals.

Working in events means being interconnected. And what better way to gain more insights, learnings and experience than through being an active member of the EMEA Community Forum?

You can post messages and ask for help. You can find subject matter specialists, freelancers, sources of inspiration and more. You could be looking for advice. You could be looking to hire someone for an event you are producing. You can post videos, educational content and more.

Imagine that you have been asked to run an event that is outside of your country, and you need help—the MPI EMEA Community Forum should be your GO TO place to find assistance. You can be certain that members of MPI are always keen to help each other. They will help.

You may think that you do not need any help. And that could be the case, but there is always something new happening in events. Take the last few years as an example; we have experienced GDPR and COVID-19, and now the metaverse is coming. There is much to learn about events. The needs of attendees and stakeholders continues to be even more demanding and sophisticated. You need to be at the top of your game to succeed.

This is where the community can help. You can ask questions and get answers from fellow members. You can find out what the burning issues are and how they can be dealt with and overcome.

The community is yours. It is yours to shape and benefit from.

It is up to you. what kind of things do you want to know, what kind of discussions do you want to have?

It is steered and driven by you. A simple mechanism has been created for you as your online space to go to. This is your hub, created for event professionals that want to make the most of their MPI membership.

There are some simple guidelines to adhere to, such as treating each other with respect and not being offensive to anyone, but that is about it.
