LGBT MPA at IMEX America 2022!

Last week, LGBT MPA had the pleasure of attending IMEX America 2022 in Las Vegas! 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! We also held two education sessions, The Impact of Bans and Boycotts and How/Why to Avoid Them and How to Successfully Host Inclusive and LGBTQ+ Friendly Events! Thank you to all that attended and participated!

Thanks to the amazing generosity of Visit Charlotte, Meet AC, MGM Resorts, and Terramar DMC and their amazing teams, LGBT MPA also hosted a LGBT Meeting Professionals Networking Reception at the Luxor Las Vegas in the Velvet Room! With live performances from local Charlotte talent, delicious food, and meaningful connections and opportunities, this event was a success! Thank you to all of our members who attended and celebrating National Coming Out Day with us!

If you missed out on this event, don't worry! We will be hosting a LGBT MPA Closing Night Networking Reception at PCMA Convening Leaders 2023! More information will be coming soon!
