During National Meetings Industry Day, each MPI chapter in Canada will present the Influence Award to recognize a person or organization outside the direct industry that has supported the development of meetings and conventions or the development of policy and programs impacting the industry. The NMID Award gives the Chapter an opportunity to recognize the accomplishments of people or organizations contributing to the meetings sector and strengthen relationships with external supporters.
The 6th Annual MPI Toronto Influence Award will be given to a local Toronto company for supporting the development of meetings and conventions and the development of policies and programs impacting this wide-reaching industry.
