Join MPI Upstate NY Chapter for a Panel Discussion

In the post COVID world of meetings and events, budgets and staff resources are limited. Did you know that you can partner with the local CVB/DMO to assist in all stages of the meeting cycle with the planning of your off site program? 

These destination professionals can help enhance the value of your program and save you time in the planning process. From the RFP to the Post-Convention Wrap Up, these resources are available for every additional step along the way!

Join us for our first in-person event in 2022 and hear from a panel of CVB/DMO professionals from around the state and country, as they take the mystery out of the purpose of the CVB/DMO and leave you well educated on the assistance they can provide!

Moderated by our Chapter’s Past President, Caitlin Gaborow, CMP, get your questions ready for our knowledgeable group of industry professional presenters which include:

Lori Alstrom, CMP, HMCC – San Diego Tourism Authority
Meg Bell – Lake George Regional Chamber of Commerce & CVB
Gina Calisi – Visit Binghamton
Lisa Conarton – Visit Ithaca
Michele Endries – Discover Albany
Meaghan Zimmer – Visit Buffalo Niagara

Looking forward to seeing you there!
