Chapter Meetings
Quarterly chapter events are held in the Carolinas. Our meetings provide an opportunity to hear chapter updates, gain professional development, earn CMP CEs, and build relationships with industry professionals.
New Member Lunch N' Learns
New Member Lunch N' Learns are held two weeks prior to each quarterly chapter meeting. All new members will be invited to join, learn about our chapter, meet chapter leaders and connect with fellow new members. Not a new member but still interested? Please join us!
Global Meetings Industry Day
Global Meetings Industry Day (GMID) is an international day of advocacy showcasing the undeniable value that business meetings, trade shows, incentive travel, exhibitions, conferences and conventions bring to people, businesses and communities.
Planner Partner Forum
The Forum serves to connect meeting planning professionals with top industry suppliers. The annual event offers the perfect blend of business and pleasure, featuring a delicious lunch, insightful learning sessions, and ample networking opportunities.
CMP Preferred Provider
MPI Carolinas Chapter is a CMP Preferred Provider, which means we are formally registered with the Event Industry Council (EIC) and are committed to providing education that aligns with the CMP International Standards (CMP-IS).
I’m a Chapter member. How does this benefit me?
When you see this logo as part of the promotion of aa Chapter program, you’ll know that the program has been approved by EIC for you to earn clock hours when you attend. These clock hours can be used to meet the CMP application or CMP recertification requirements. Once enrolled, the MPI-CC will report these earned clock hours when you register and attend an approved program.
How do I get started?
The first step is to go online to the Event Industry Council site and create an account. Be sure to enter the same email address you will use to register for MPI-CC events as the Primary Address.
After the chapter event, log in to your EIC account to review and add your clock hours.
What if a session hasn't been pre-approved by EIC?
To add continuing education (CE) credits to your account with the Event Industry Council (EIC) for a session that has not been pre-approved by EIC, you can self-report it to add to your EIC account.
You will need two pieces of information:
- A session description that shows the learning objectives align with the CMP-IS
- Proof that you attended (like a scan of your name badge or a copy of your registration confirmation).
For more information on CMP certification and recertification, visit the EIC FAQs.
