MPI Reconnects with Its European Community in Brighton
Two years later than initially planned, Meeting Professionals International (MPI) hosted its European Meetings and Events Conference (EMEC) in Brighton, UK, this week. Twice postponed due to the Covid pandemic, the conference finally attracted around 300 participants, thanks to persistent efforts from MPI and the local host committee led by IMEX. This was the first time this conference was held in the UK since 2008, when it was held in London with a record-breaking attendance of 538. MeetEngland and VisitBritain supported the conference and organized hosted buyer groups that toured the UK before the conference. Hosted buyers from Europe and the U.S. took part in pre-conference business appointments.
