The best ideas rarely happen in a meeting. They happen over a cup of tea and a great conversation.

Join Meeting Professionals International (MPI), the world's largest association for meeting and event professionals, for a refreshing morning designed to connect corporate and association meeting planners, MPI members and industry partners through meaningful conversation. Open to all MPI members (even if you're not a corporate or association planner) and non-members that are corporate and association planners only.

CommuniTEA is not a conference or a networking event. It's a chance to step away from your desk, share ideas with people who understand your world, learn practical approaches from fellow professionals and build genuine relationships in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. And the best part, it's free to attend!

What to expect:

☕ Tea, coffee and light refreshments on arrival.

🤝 A warm welcome and introductions.

💬 Choose three Conversation Table Topics to join throughout the morning, meeting different people and exchanging ideas at each table.

Leave with practical ideas, valuable new connections and fresh perspectives you can apply to your own events.

Our Table Topic Conversations

You will have the opportunity to move tables 3 times and join the conversation on these topics.

• Designing Engagement – How do we create excitement before an event and keep people talking long after it's over?
• WOW Without the Big Budget – Creative ideas that make a lasting impression without increasing costs.
• The Power of Local Partnerships – Working with destinations, venues and local partners to enhance the delegate experience.
• Demonstrating Event Value – ROI, stakeholder expectations and proving the impact of your events.
• Wellbeing by Design – What does wellbeing really look like for participants, speakers and event teams?
