Client Snapshot
Meeting Professionals International (MPI) is the world’s largest association for meeting and event professionals. Through its local chapters, MPI delivers education, leadership development, and community-building experiences for planners, suppliers, and industry partners.
Lead at Any Level® has partnered with multiple MPI chapters—including Indiana, Greater Philadelphia, and Chicago Area—to support member education around inclusion, leadership, and navigating change.
The Challenge
Across local chapters, Meeting Professionals International leaders share a common challenge: delivering education that feels timely, energizing, and genuinely valuable to members with diverse roles, experience levels, and expectations.
Chapter leaders consistently emphasized the need to:
Engage both planners and suppliers with content that resonates across roles
Address real pressures facing the meetings industry, including change fatigue, uncertainty, and evolving career paths
Offer programming that feels fresh and relevant, not recycled or surface-level
Balance inspiration with practical, actionable takeaways members can apply immediately
Work with speakers who collaborate closely with chapter leadership before and after events—not just on stage
Whether hosting a flagship education event, a leadership day, or a chapter meeting, MPI organizers wanted programming that strengthened connection, encouraged participation, and reinforced the value of chapter involvement—while respecting the time and energy of busy professionals.
Our Contributions
MPI Indiana Chapter
Lead at Any Level’s relationship with MPI Indiana spans multiple years and formats, reflecting an evolving partnership rather than a one-off engagement.
Initial Engagement
Amy first partnered with MPI Indiana to deliver LGBTQ Inclusion Strategies as part of the chapter’s Breaking Down Bias education program, followed by a facilitated Network Beyond Bias discussion with the Board of Directors. These sessions supported early conversations about inclusion, representation, and leadership within the chapter.Follow-up Engagement
Amy returned to MPI Indiana to deliver Moving from Panic to Purpose, supported by a structured Launch Meeting, Prep Meeting, and Wrap Meeting with chapter leadership.The program focused on helping members recognize their responses to change, reduce overwhelm, and identify practical next steps for navigating uncertainty in their careers and organizations.
This full-cycle engagement reinforced MPI Indiana’s commitment to thoughtful programming—and demonstrated the value of pairing strong content with intentional planning and follow-up.
MPI Greater Philadelphia Chapter
MPI Greater Philadelphia invited Amy to present Moving from Panic to Purpose at its signature Bosses’ Night event at Valley Forge Casino Resort. The session helped planners and suppliers recognize their responses to uncertainty and reframe change as opportunity.
Attendees described the experience as “different and refreshing,” “funny but very thought-provoking,” and “absolutely amazing.” One committee member said Amy “set a new bar for what we expect from speakers.”
The event earned a perfect 10/10 satisfaction rating, and organizers highlighted Amy’s professionalism and comprehensive pre- and post-event communication as key factors in its success.
MPI Chicago Area Chapter
MPI Chicago’s Leadership Day featured a full-day program designed to inspire both current and emerging leaders. Amy delivered a keynote (Network Beyond Bias), a follow-up workshop (Building Strong Professional Networks with Intention), and moderated the MPI CAC Leadership Panel.
Earlier that year, she also facilitated Network Like a CHAMP for the chapter’s Board of Directors—introducing the five critical connections every professional needs to thrive.
The Leadership Day experience combined inspiration with practical takeaways, encouraging members to connect intentionally, lead inclusively, and strengthen their chapter’s community.
