We invite you to participate in the
 Spring 2019 Sales Blitz!

Welcome Suppliers! We invite you to participate in the Spring 2019 Sales Blitz!

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to secure face-to-face appointments with up to 10 planners over a two-day period. Past suppliers are still raving about the return on their investment as many of them secured substantial pieces of business from their participation!

Space is limited, and the slots will fill up quickly! This is one event you do not want to miss!

*If you are a Planner, mark your calendar for this opportunity to BUY MPI and do business with our Supplier participants! Be on the lookout for more information on how to participate.

How does it work?

Once supplier registration closes (April 12 or when the event sells out), everyone will be matched with a team of four other suppliers. We will do our best to ensure you are not on the same team with a competitor supplier. Once the teams and team captains are set, you will start making meeting planner appointments!

By registering and participating in this event it will be your responsibility to secure two planner appointments for your team over the Sales Blitz dates.

Your team will travel together by bus or van to visit the offices of up to 10 contacts over the course of 2 days. Each supplier will have approximately 5-7 minutes per sales call to share information on their hotel, venue, product or service.

What does it cost?

Registration is $275.00 per supplier and includes:

• Face-to-face meetings with up to (10) D/FW meeting planners (suppliers are required to make 2 appointments each)
• Kick-off breakfast on Tuesday, May 7^th
• Transportation between destinations for both days provided with a daily pick-up and drop-off at the host hotel.
