Golden Gala - Celebrating 50 years of MPI! 

All that glitters is gold!

Since you are in the neighborhood, our member Ariens Hospitality is inviting you to start your day with an optional stop at Round Lake Farms!  Enjoy a light lunch from our friends at Ariens and see the beautiful event venues before you continue to Appleton.  Click here to see a preview video.

Into the evening, join your peers, colleagues, and friends at the newly rebranded Hilton Paper Valley Hotel on August 11. Enjoy the "golden hour" in the newly remodeled spaces and take tours of the Fox Cities Exhibition Center. Take part in the celebration of the volunteer efforts of the chapter members and watch as we put "the crown" on the latest member of the Hall of fame.

JM - headshotFor 2022, we are excited to induct Jennifer Mell, CMP into MPI Wisconsin Hall of Fame! 
In Jen's 12+ years as an MPI Wisconsin member, she has grown professionally and made contributions to our chapter all along the way.  She’s worked in hotels, as a corporate meeting planner, for an event production company, and as a Third-Party Planner. This makes her enviably well-rounded in her knowledge of the events industry. She makes use of her years of experience by serving on MATC's Advisory Committee for their Event Management program, as well as in her volunteer work for MPI.  Jen is currently co-editor for the AGENDA Magazine and has served in many roles for MPI-WI, including Chapter President in 2016-2017, and she used her extra time at home during the pandemic, by serving a year on a MPI International Committee.  Please help us thank Jen Mell, CMP for her consistent leadership and congratulate her on her Hall of Fame induction!
