Welcome to the Meeting Professionals International Tampa Bay Area Chapter 

Meeting Professionals International (MPI), the world’s largest association for the $122.3 billion meetings and events industry, is committed to positioning meetings and events as a key strategic component of an organization's success. The over 380-member Tampa Bay Area Chapter of MPI, established in 1984, empowers its members to increase their strategic value with education, professional development and business growth opportunities.

Are you a meeting & event professional in the Greater Tampa Bay Area looking for higher quality education, enhanced networking opportunites and tools to assist you in becoming a more valuable component of your organizations success?  The Tampa Bay Area Chapter offers its members each of these things and much, much more.  With monthly educational meetings, special events and networking opportunities; MPITBA brings meeting professionals together to elevate not only their careers, but the entire meetings & events industry.


The 19th annual Southeast Educational Conference, hosted by the four Florida chapters of Meeting Professionals International, provides the best value and attendee experience in the region for meeting professionals and business partners. The conference attracts between 450 to 650 meeting planners and suppliers to share knowledge and ideas, build relationships and provide business opportunity.

Please register early to secure your tradeshow booth or registration. Take advantage of discount pricing for early registration. We encourage suppliers to take a look at the sponsor pages to see how you can get one of the best ROI on your products or services.

Why You Should Attend the SEC!
There won’t be a dull moment, with exciting keynote speakers, interactive educational sessions, a packed tradeshow and fantastic networking events.

This is not your ordinary conference for sure … and exactly the point SEC 2010 will make.  We’re looking at every aspect of what you’ve come to anticipate and re-writing the rule book. From the opening general session that is anything but a “session,” to an exciting new way to communicate and network, we intend to make you look at things from a different point of view and expose you to technologies never seen at an SEC.

The most influential planners attend this conference.  And they’ll come from Florida and beyond, from within MPI and extending to other industry organizations, for the high level speakers, education and marketing.  This conference will benefit not just the individual, but will provide intense promotion for your organization, as well, suppliers and planners alike.

MPI Tampa Bay OUTREACH event: 4/24/10 Habitat for Humanity Build
Tuesday, May 4, 2010

The day dawned bright with a slight chill as we gathered early in Tarpon Springs to help build a house for the needy with Habitat for Humanity.   As we arrived, our house supervisor John, very patiently explained the process to us.  Can you imagine explaining the construction industry process to a bunch of office meeting professionals?  But that he did and 3 of us climbed up on the roof and laid and hammered shingle, some worked on soffit and the remainder totally primed and painted that 1500 sq foot home alongside the owner.
