Meeting Professionals International (MPI) has announced a strategic partnership with the Seoul Convention Bureau to create MPI Korea Chapter. The agreement will result in the formation of the first MPI Chapter in Asia, with a membership of 200 members identified by the Seoul Convention & Visitors Bureau in partnership with other Korean organizations.

Bruce MacMillan, MPI President and CEO said: “Asia is a strong actor in the meetings industry and we are delighted to announce that we now have in Chapter in this buoyant part of the world. MPI’s presence in Korea will provide all the meetings industry members in the country with new opportunities to further develop their professional expertise and will give them access to our global marketplace.”

This alliance provides all MPI Korea Chapter members with a wealth of opportunities and access to recognised best practices.”
In a quickly evolving and rapidly globalizing economy, it is crucial for meeting professionals to be aware of the key changes taking place.
