Meeting Professionals International (MPI) has strengthened its involvement with EIBTM through a number of initiatives at this year’s event in Barcelona.

Commenting on the new initiatives, Joyce Dogniez, CMM, MPI director of operations EMEA, said: "EIBTM is a major industry platform for us and the ideal opportunity to interact with the global meetings and incentive community and to inform everyone of our plans for 2008.”

The MPI’s initiatives will include sponsorship of the MPI Technology Village @ EIBTM and providing selected speakers to assist in defining the content for the EIBTM Agency Programme. Other show promotions will include a special membership rate for hosted buyers, exhibitors and trade visitors interested in joining MPI.
