Texas Hill Country Fall is upon us with the smell of pumpkin spice and fall decor at every corner.

MPI Texas Hill Country Chapter (THCC) may not feel the fall breeze like other regions, but we are sure to bring in the holiday spirit with pumpkin spice, halloween decor and costume parties. Although this year may feel different, the amount of holiday enthusiasm isn’t any smaller….and MPI THCC hopes you’ll celebrate with us.

MPI THCC brought to you its first-ever, fully virtual Texas Education Conference thanks to your support and especially the support from long-time sponsors. This virtual program brought attendees with credit hours approved by the Events Industry Council, sponsor connections, gamification and a showstopping happy hour. We are grateful for the time, support and commitment of all of those involved, and we are excited to welcome attendees back to TEC in 2021 at the new Austin Marriott Downtown October 16-17, 2021. Save the date and stay tuned for more information.

The fall wouldn’t be the same without a busy, event-filled season. With that, your leadership has put together themed events and education you’re sure to love. With six upcoming networking events, town halls and a hybrid WEC Grapevine brought to us by MPI headquarters, this fall is sure to drive innovative education, unique experiences and genuine connections to propel your career, energy and passion for this industry in the midst of a pandemic.

We look forward to the next time we can meet face to face again but are amazed by the opportunity to break down the walls of our membership geographic reach by connecting face to face in this new age of virtual. I hope to see you and reconnect, virtually, very soon!
