For decades, MIC (Meetings Industry Council) has been where over 1,000 meeting and hospitality professionals gather to exchange expertise, build connections, and share successful and cutting-edge ideas. It’s not just a conference; it’s where the industry’s movers and shakers come to level up. The meetings world is constantly evolving—new trends, new tech, and new ways to explain to clients why their budget doesn’t cover a Cirque du Soleil-style cocktail hour. At MIC, these challenges are tackled head-on, blending bold ideas with practical solutions. MIC is more than a conference; it’s an industry institution. It’s where students become pros, pros become legends, and everyone learns that networking isn’t just about shaking hands. Whether you’re an exhibitor, speaker, volunteer, or just here for the cutting-edge content (and maybe the swag), if you’re in the Rocky Mountain region (or can be for March 25-26, 2025), this is the event you can’t afford to miss. Early bird registration is open. You know you wanna go...why not save a few bucks by registering early?! #MeetingsIndustryCouncil #MIC2025 #MeetingsandEvents #MeetingsIndustry #MeetingProfessionals #EventProfessionals MEETINGS INDUSTRY COUNCIL OF COLORADO INC

Another post about conferences, this time with a slightly different tone…we’re about one month out from starting full-on conference season and I wanted to share a preview of the first two we’ll be attending: MSMS - Napa Valley in March: nestled in a quaint, picturesque setting, the Multifamily Social Media Summit is a conference that you will want to send your top performers to represent your company. Some of the pros include a high quality/quantity ratio, centralized location for nearly all attendees, and separate advisory boards for mgmt. co/suppliers to help shape conference experience. This conference wasn’t originally on my calendar until late 2021, but this has quickly become a “can’t miss” conference for our team. And for the cons…it always feels over before it started! RETCON – New York in April: nestled in a bustling, vibrant setting, RETCON is a conference that you will want to get on your calendars ASAP. Like MSMS, the ratio of high-quality attendees to suppliers is very high but RETCON has been flying under the radar for far too long. Each year that I’ve attended, the number of potential clients I’ve met has increased, while my facetime with each has stayed the same (thanks to the conference setup and some good ol’ fashioned hustle). The conference is also located in New York, which inherently brings a different crowd of attendees, some of which are not coming to the other conferences throughout the year. Highly recommend adding RETCON to your calendars, you smashing quota will thank me later. Outside of the stark contrast in conference setting, the overlap of why these conferences is so great is very high. If your goal is to meet quality people while consuming curated content, do yourself a favor and attend both MSMS and RETCON. #multifamily #studenthousing #propertymanagement

Conferences, conferences everywhere! March through June was packed, so many things were happening in our BC space... I ended up flying to 6 different events in this period. Three events from the Days of Knowledge tour, Directions North America, DynamicsMinds, and finally BC TechDays. Before I ease into the summer, I want to write a recap of the fun parts of these events, and a quick introduction, in case you don’t know any of them. It really is hard to make up my mind which one people should “look out for”. I think all of them. But since I know not everyone can go to every event, I’ve included my view of who’s the best fit for what event. And now, time to enjoy summer! ☀️🏖️🌊 #BusinessCentral #Conference #Dynamics365 https://lnkd.in/g4qg-3dd

IMPACT Effect isn’t your typical conference. Here’s what sets us apart. First, we go all-in on connection. We provide opportunities to connect with others before, during, and after the event. From our digital app to in-person pre-conference gatherings, you’re building relationships from the start. Second, we make sure you leave with unforgettable experiences. Unlike most conferences, where the speakers feel out of reach, we break down those walls. You’ll get face-to-face time with speakers and attendees, creating moments that matter and content you’ll want to share long after it’s over. This isn’t just a conference, it’s an experience.

Unpopular opinion: We're not big fans of VIRTUAL events. 🚫 While we appreciate the convenience and accessibility they offer, there's just something special about the energy and connection of being in person. 🥳 Virtual Events, not to be confused with webinars or ZOOM calls, lack that essential human connection that makes gatherings unforgettable. 👉🏼 What do you think?
