MPI Foundation

For 25 years, the MPI Foundation has been investing in the people and programs that shape meetings and business events into a $100 billion industry. It is a philosophy of investment, founded on the belief that meetings are critical to the success of business, that guides the MPI Foundation’s efforts in strengthening and preserving our industry for years to come.

Founded in 1984, the MPI Foundation conducts research and develops projects annually to ensure growth and recognition for meeting professionals and the industry. A self-sustaining, self-governed organization operating solely on voluntary contributions from individuals, corporate suppliers, MPI Chapters and other affiliated organizations, the Foundation’s focus is ongoing research and development of new ways to improve meeting planning process, function and management. The Foundation also directs the research and development of the Women’s Leadership (www.wli.mpiweb.org) and Multicultural Initiatives (www.multicultural.mpiweb.org).
