LGBT MPA at Connect Marketplace 2022!

At the beginning of August, LGBT MPA had the pleasure of attending Connect Marketplace in Detroit! LGBT MPA exhibited for the second time on the trade show floor at Connect Marketplace and was able to share the mission and vision of LGBT MPA to the attendees! 

Thanks to the amazing generosity of Visit Detroit and their amazing team, LGBT MPA also hosted a LGBT Meeting Professionals Networking Reception at the Shinola Hotel in the Birdie Room! With live performances from local Detroit talent, delicious food, and meaningful connections and opportunities, this event was a success! Thank you to all of our members who attended!

If you missed out on this event, don't worry! We will be hosting a LGBT MPA Opening Night Networking Reception at IMEX America 2022! More information is coming soon!
