The IMEX America - MPI Strategic Partnership
MPI (Meeting Professionals International) is the exclusive Strategic Partner of IMEX America and Premier Education Provider. As a result MPI will no longer hold its traditional trade show alongside its WEC (World Education Congress) but instead, MPI endorses IMEX America as the place to exhibit from 2011 and encourages all members to make IMEX America their trade show of choice in the US market.

“We are putting the collective buying power of MPI members, estimated to be $16.4 billion, behind our exclusive strategic partnership with IMEX America.”
Bruce MacMillan, President and CEO, MPI
