Hosted Planner Application

The MPI-CAC Hosted Planner Program offers planners the opportunity to attend MPI-CAC events for free by being matched with sponsors or suppliers as their guest(s). To apply to be a hosted planner, please fill out the application below. The matching process will happen at least three (3) weeks prior to the event date, and if selected, you will be connected via email with your host. If a match is unavailable, you will be notified at least seven days before the event and will still be able to register at the early registration rate.


By filling out this form, you agree to let MPI-CAC share your information (name, company, and job title) with all individuals who have signed up to host a planner for the event selected.


Please contact MPI-CAC at info@mpicac.org if you have any questions about the Hosted Planner Program.

No Show Policy - PLEASE READ

Given the demand for the spots in the MPI-CAC Hosted Planners Program, we ask that planners please give us at least 72 hours' notice if you are no longer able to attend an event after you've been matched to ensure someone else is able to attend the event in your place.


If you are matched with a supplier to host you at an event, you will be asked to register for said event, and your credit card will be charged a $10 fee during registration. Once you attend the event, you will be refunded the $10 within one week of the event's conclusion. If you do not notify MPI-CAC of your cancellation within the aforementioned timeframe, and do not attend the event, your $10 fee will be donated to the MPI Foundation.
