MPI KBC Members Speak
“As someone who is still in the early stages of my career in Meeting and Event Planning, being a part of the MPI KBC chapter has been absolutely invaluable. Networking with experienced planners has helped me to see the depth of opportunity that exists in the meetings industry and the educational offerings have provided tactics I’ve used to improve the participant experience in my existing meetings and programs.”
Molly Marsh, Council on Licensure, Enforcement, and Regulation
“My MPI-KBC Membership has been priceless to me. Through my continued involvement with KBC I have grown tremendously professionally and personally. I continue to volunteer with KBC and reap more benefits from the time investment than I could have ever imagined. Thank you MPI-KBC for playing such a significant part in my current success.”
Tina Bowling, IAM Solutions
“Relationship building is an important aspect of my duties as a corporate planner, and the networking advantages to our membership in MPI is what I find most useful.”
Aileen Hawes, CMP

General Information:
All memberships are handled through the MPI office in Dallas. Once you join the international organization, MPI will assign you to the chapter of your choice. It takes approximately 30 days for the entire process. Once MPI notifies the chapter that you have joined, MPI KBC will add you to the local database. At that time, you will begin to receive all e-communications from the chapter. Your membership will also be announced in the chapter's e-newsletter.
MPI membership belongs to the individual supplier or planner who originally joins the association, even if the employer paid for it. If the employer pays for the membership and the member leaves their organization, the employer is eligible to receive a trial three-month "limited membership". After the three-month trial, the member is expected to pay full annual dues to continue the membership. Please call Member Services at 972-702-3053 for details.
Member dues are non-refundable and are due annually on the anniversary date of acceptance. Dues quoted are subject to change. Annual membership includes a $99 USD annual subscription to The Meeting Professional magazine. Approximately 18% dues are rebated to local chapters for membership support and education.
New Membership applications will be made available here soon. Go to MPIWEB.org to apply online or to download the latest applications.
