2025 Events

MPI UK & Ireland also gave a sneak preview of its events programme for 2025.

The chapter will be co-hosting planners to The Industry Great Debate | January 16, 2025 with Shangri-La and Hilton on January 16, 2025, in collaboration with AIEA and the Cambridge Union Society.

This is the third edition of the Great Industry Debate, and it’s an event not to be missed. The motion before the house is: “This house believes industry awards have lost their value.” There will be a fantastic lineup of speakers for and against the motion. It’s a unique experience to visit the oldest debating society in the world. Tickets are free; register using the link above.

Following this, the MPI Mix ‘n’ Mingle event will take place after the micebook Expo on Tuesday, January 28th, at the Leonardo Royal Hotel, St. Paul’s Sabine Rooftop Bar.

The rooftop space is booked on semi-private hire, therefore tickets are limited, so register as soon as possible to secure your place: https://cvent.me/Mm38xk.
