Strategic Alliance ProgramWHY BECOME A PARTNER WITH THE MPI WESTFIELD CHAPTER?
The Meeting Professionals International WestField Chapter (MPIWC) was founded in 1989. It was believed that there needed to be an education and networking source to directly serve meeting professionals, both planner and supplier in Westchester NY and Fairfield CT counties. MPI was that source.
With a large base of planner members in our chapter such as PricewaterhouseCoopers, Pfizer, Bayer, Deloitte and Pepsi-Cola (to name only a few), we bring a vast array of meeting planning professionals to the table. Not to be ignored are the equally powerful supplier members we have including Dolce International, Marriott Hotels, Hilton, Starwood Hotels, Hyatt, Disney, and more.
As a Business Partner, you will gain exposure to the right buyers:
- Membership represents approximately 200 Meeting Industry Professionals
- Planner membership is 50% and suppliers represent 50% both from the Westchester and Fairfield County area
- Many of the members represent companies based in New York City, nationally or globally
Meeting Professionals International (MPI), the meetings and events industry's largest and most vibrant global community, helps our members thrive by providing human connections to knowledge and ideas, relationships, and marketplaces. Total MPI membership is comprised of more than 24,000 members belonging to 70 chapters and clubs worldwide. For additional information, visit mpiweb.org.
