The MPI community is an invaluable resource with a global community. As an MPI member, you gain access to an extensive membership directory of over 17,000 planners and suppliers, including MPI Canadian and MPI Ottawa members. You can also connect with peers worldwide through MPI’s global community forums, which focus on a wide range of industry topics. With these online resources at your fingertips, you'll always know exactly who to contact to get things done efficiently.
The best way to benefit from an MPI membership is to volunteer and join a committee. Joining an MPI Global or MPI Ottawa Committee, helps members (new and old) to foster knowledge, build rapport with other committee members, learn new skills, and gain a solid network of industry peers.
