KCMPI.org Program/Event Calendar

MPI and KCMPI together are "Committed to Educational Leadership." KCMPI gathers monthly for educational programs and networking events that allowmembers to evolve their careers to positions of influence while developing new and powerful partnerships.

Although educational and informative, the programs also offer the perfect opportunity to network, socialize and discuss how other planners and suppliers deal with issues relating to the industry and their careers.

Join us at our next program and remember that “Meetings Drive Change, Join the Revolution!”

Get Out of B.E.D.
Bridge View Hall, North Kansas City, MO

Ever have a day that starts out bad and seems to go down hill from there? Learn how, in 16 seconds or less, to never have another day like that again. Ever.

In this lively, interactive program, Marty guides you through the thought process that will help you communicate more succinctly and effectively and identify what holds you back from the success you know is possible both at work and at home. You will walk away inspired and motivated to take positive and sustainable action with the people in your life, and break through the barriers to success.

This program is perfect for anyone who has ever worked for, or lived with, whiners or complainers.
