LGBT MPA at PCMA Educon 2022! |
|
At the beginning of June, LGBT Meeting Professionals Association partnered with PCMA to bring DE&I programming, brought you you by Marriott International.
Some of the courses LGBT MPA produced were, The Business Case for Diversity, EIDB: Inclusive Event Strategies, and our panel discussion, Rolling Out the Rainbow Carpet: Creating Welcome Destinations!
Our panelists, Maria Grasso, Jason Dunn Sr., and Rory G. Archibald, and our moderator, Chase Brunson, CMP had a enlightening and informative discussion on what their destinations are doing to be more inclusive and welcoming as well as what strategies other destinations can utilize in their own cities! Creating welcoming destinations is essential and inclusion matters!
Special thanks to Josh Henry for helping plan this panel discussion as well as all of the education sessions this week! And to Jean Craciun for moderating our Business Case for Diversity course!
Thank you to all that joined us! It was an amazing night of networking, reconnecting, and celebrating Pride with you all!
If you were not able to make our event this time, you're in luck! Our next events will be held during NACE Experience 2022 in Orlando as well as Connect Detroit! Details coming soon!
