#MPIWI

 

Come kick off 2025 MPI-WI education with us on Thursday, January 23rd, at The Hilton Paper Valley Hotel, located in downtown Appleton, WI! It’s going to be an awesome day of connecting with fellow members, learning how to intentionally design a memorable experience for your attendees….and…are you ready for it...the opportunity to be immersed in the extravagant play design of The Lion King!

January’s featured speaker, Tahira Endean, MsC, CITP, CMP, CED, has 30 yrs. of experience in the education industry creating people-centric and purpose-driven events.  She will walk us through intentional event design – from objectives to the practical steps to excellence. How do you ensure your stakeholders see the value in investing their money & time into more enhanced design? How do you keep your attendees talking about their event experience for months after?  Tahira will lend her expertise in making that difference and the science behind the many aspects of success. 

Are you interested in obtaining your CMP or are studying for the big test? Our wonderful, Naomi Tucker, CMP, is presenting the CMP 101 session from 10:30 am – 11:30am. 

Registration & lunch will kick off the afternoon at 12:00 p.m., followed by our featured speaker session at 1:00 p.m. Closing out our education portion of the day, is our Chapter’s trademark reception & raffle.  Stay to mingle & take your chance at winning great prizes!

….and the cherry on top, of an already great day, is your chance to see The Lion King playing at the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center that same evening!  Fox Cities CVB is sponsoring limited show tickets (for registered attendees only) for only $25.  You can purchase your Lion King ticket when registering for the meeting online. The show starts at 7:30pm and is conveniently located across the street from the hotel.  

Rooms are available at The Hilton Paper Valley for $119.  Be sure to make your reservations by January 9th to get our group rate.

We look forward to kicking off another great year of MPI-WI Chapter education!

    Intentional Event Design- from objectives to the practical steps to excellence 

    Our role as event professionals is to create experiences steeped in trust, where our audiences feel their participation in our event was the best use of their time and financial investment and our stakeholders see the value from investing in worthwhile events. This requires our event designs to bring out the best in human nature by making intentional decisions based on the knowledge available about our participants and their needs. Deeply understanding how human beings respond in live event environments is our new currency.

    The seven intentions include developing stronger event processes, understanding how to make the most of the available technology and data including digital marketing, designing to optimize the experience through immersive, brain-friendly design, and creating sustainable, wellness-driven events.

      Speaker Bio: Tahira Endean

      A curator of education for the event industry and unapologetically curious learner, she entered the industry three decades ago with diplomas in event management and adult education and recently added a MSc in Creativity and Change Leadership. Tahira has designed human experiences on three continents (so far), delivering hundreds of events, with dozens of amazing teams and thousands of transformed guests later, she remains passionate about the possibilities when we create people-centric and purpose-driven events. An instructor of Sustainable Event Operations, industry speaker, writer and author, she loves learning and equally sharing knowledge and ideas. Work and play are intertwined and her family and friends know she is willing to dive into an experience anywhere in the world. A collector of friends, there is always a good reason to connect, celebrate, and share anything with bubbles.
