Earlier this month, Meetings Michigan traveled to Chicago to sponsor the 2nd Annual MPI-CAC TechCon 2012 Conference held at the Holiday Inn Mart Plaza on February 8th, 2012. We were joined by 6 of our partners: Marina Grand Resort, Discover Kalamazoo, Great Lakes Bay Region CVB, Westin at Detroit Metropolitan Airport and the Traverse City CVB.
During the General Session, all 7 of us went on stage in front of the 200 attendees to do a "Michigan Trivia" presentation. Similar to what we've done in years past at the CMP Boot Camp and MPI Mid-America, we did a PowerPoint Michigan Trivia presentation with Michigan Fun Facts. Numerous folks came up to us after the presentation to say how much they enjoyed seeing such a large, unified team promoting Michigan. They also enjoyed hearing unique fun facts instead of a traditional promotional presentation on hotel rooms, square footage, meeting space, etc.
Throughout the conference, we met with Chicago area meeting planners from various companies including Sara Lee, Avon Products and Abbott Nutritional Products. We also had the opportunity to listen to a very informative and engaging presentaion given by Richard Saul Wurman, Founder of TED Conferences.
Overall, it was a great show and we enjoyed the opportunity to support our friends at MPI-CAC!
