About The Program:

Mastering Stakeholder Management
Many meeting planners struggle with getting visibility and buy-in from leaders of their organizations. They often feel their role is misunderstood and undervalued. It’s time to change the paradigm! Effective stakeholder management is the key to getting your voice heard and elevating your career. 

This session will introduce a simple stakeholder management tool that will immediately change how you handle internal and external stakeholders for your events. During the session we will discuss how to identify and manage stakeholders in different event scenarios. 

Brought to you by the MPI Academy and the San Diego State University School of Tourism and Hospitality Management, this session will give you a free sneak peek at the education offered in the Master’s degree program in Meeting and Event Management launching in 2019.

Learner outcomes:
     • Identify and distinguish project stakeholders using Interest/Power Stakeholder    Analysis Matrix.
     • Learn to manage individual stakeholders effectively to gain buy-in and achieve your
objectives.
     • Gain confidence and respect from your company’s leaders by presenting information and data effectively

Workshop Description:

Data Driven Event Design We can’t achieve success unless we know how to define it. In today’s world we have no shortage of data or tools to capture it. However, we consistently see events planned without defined objectives and with no measurement tools in place. If we want to be able to define success, we must first understand what data we need, what tools are needed to capture it, and how to leverage it to support event objectives.

Brought to you by the MPI Academy and the San Diego State University School of Tourism and Hospitality Management, this session will give you a sneak peek at the education offered in the Master’s degree program in Meeting and Event Management launching in 2019.

Learner Outcomes:
     • Define event objectives that satisfy key stakeholders
     • Identify key metrics for defining success
     • Select tools and technology to capture and report data

Community Service Project:

Our 2019 community service goal is to again deliver 1,000 toiletry bags to the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Parent Resource Center. Please help us meet our goal by:
   ~ Donating toiletries (individual or cases) at the Sept. 30 event, including shampoo, conditioner, body wash, body soaps, facial soaps, lotions, shower caps, personal care items and leftover conference bags.
   ~ Donating money so needed supplies can be purchased  – we’ll be collecting at the event.
   ~ Staying after the joint event program to help stuff the bags and deliver them to Nationwide Children’s.
