June Event—Annual Meeting Gala @ JFK Library

MPINE members gathered to celebrate the year and welcome the new Board!

With another year in the books, it was time to celebrate our achievements and get to know our incoming president and board with a fabulous reception and dinner at a gorgeous venue. Held at the iconic John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum, we feted the beginning of a new year full of unlimited possibilities and innovative ideas. Situated right on the bay with a stunning sunset as the backdrop, the Museum provided an elegant location for our annual meeting with a style reminiscent of the Kennedys themselves. Co-chairs Kim Kirk and Terry Mulryan-Toomey did an amazing job creating a truly memorable event!

The Story of Summer on Cape Cod

A Meetings Industry Spin on a Summer Tradition

What better way to kick off the summer than with a look at one of its main attractions—Cape Cod. With the official arrival of beach weather and the inevitable slowdown in the meeting & event industry, we thought it would be fun to profile a place famous for its history, food, shopping, coastline, and of course, summer parties. For many people, a visit brings back fond memories of family vacations and nostalgia for “old Cape Cod”, but it is also a popular destination for conferences, retreats and annual meetings, with a certain beachy theme woven into the mix. In the past, the official season began with Memorial Day and ended with Labor Day, but according to Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce CEO Wendy Northcross, Columbus Day is the new Labor Day and September is the second busiest month of the summer. Whether you’re going for business or pleasure, a visit to the Cape offers a unique perspective on a seasonal market and how it adapts to meet the demand of its diverse tourism base. READ MORE >>>
