February 17: "Being Better Partners"
KCMPI's "Being Better Partners" program, held on February 17 at the Hilton President, dealt with what we do best, building relationships, and how we can enhance our relationships through better communication. Seven scenarios were presented to the group. The scenarios dealt with issues from the VIP being walked to planners not providing event details to the audio visual vendor. The attendees participated in the sharing of best practices and solution options for each act. Following the program, the Hilton President provided a wonderful reception that included tomato soup in shot glasses with grilled cheese dip-size sandwiches. The buzz generated from the program could be heard in all of the conversations during the reception, proving the fact that face-to-face meetings are alive and well.
