An open track filled with brand new BMWs sits in Thermal, California, just outside of Palm Springs where 16 MPISCC chapter members recently gathered in person to network and test their skills behind the wheel. Attendees were able to experience the BMW Performance Center West firsthand and see how corporate groups are able to utilize the venue. For most attendees, it was their first time being back to an in-person event, adding to their excitement (beyond learning to race luxury sports cars!).
“Bright Roads Ahead” was the theme for this year’s MPISCC Annual Conference – and that spirit was woven throughout the program. Gathering virtually this year was essential for bringing our community together as we approach reopening in California.
Held on ExpoPass and Zoom, the event brought together 108 attendees over May 10-14, including five keynote sessions, 22 breakouts and many networking opportunities.
Did you miss out on (WE)Con 2021: Bright Roads Ahead? Great news! (WE)Con 2021 was a virtual conference where general sessions and breakout sessions were recorded to create a Virtual Pass. The Virtual Pass is now available for purchase. It includes all four days of (WE)Con 2021 recorded programming. A total of 16 CEUs! Click HERE for more info!
