MPI and Professional Speaker Collaboration

What happens when National Speakers Association members and members of the MPI Tennessee Chapter collaborate to create an event?

Check out the latest interview on The Conference Talk Show when Thom Singer and I chat with Shannon Jones, CMP, Jessica Pettitt, MBA, CSP, MEd, and Beth Ziesenis, CSP about how they collaborated to create a unique event not only filled the event professional needs for education and connection and the professional speaker needs for great video and networking, but also thrilled the sponsors. They created a $100K stage – find out why, how, and what they learned in the process!

How’d they do that you ask? As part of the program, they created a speaker showcase that was also a “HOW TO” on producing a hybrid event.

Tune in to hear the reasons for the event and the steps taken to create a great experience for those in-person and on the virtual stream.

At 24:29 all three guests are awarded The Conference Hero Award which was created to honor those who have gone above and beyond the call of duty during the last two years in the meetings business.
