Meeting Professionals International (MPI) has teamed up with global association for conference and meetings venues, IACC, to form a global alliance.
A five-year global partnership will see the organizations share event and learning platforms, including training programs delivered online and at annual conferences.
The two already collaborate closely.
IACC has conducted training sessions at MPI events and MPI presented two workshops at the IACC-Americas Connect conference taking place in Los Angeles this week.
"The leadership teams at MPI and IACC have been collaborating on several successful initiatives over the last two years and now seems the perfect time to bring all this great work together under one strategy to allow us to seize more opportunities and provide more for our respective members," said IACC’s CEO Mark Cooper.
A new resource to launch this year is the live streaming of MPI events at all IACC member venues.
MPI’s 2017 World Education Congress in June in Las Vegas will kick off the initiative.
"One of our top priorities at MPI is to continuously enrich our portfolio of professional development offerings and this collaboration with IACC will certainly help us deliver more value to our membership community," said Paul Van Deventer, president and CEO of MPI.
