The Meetings Industry Council (MIC) 2026, has come to a close. It was great to reconnect with so many Hospitality colleagues for two days networking, attending wonderful educational sessions and Keynote sessions. I love this industry and all the people in it.

I'm looking forward to attending the Meetings Industry Council from March 11-13, 2026, at the Colordo Convention Center to attend educational sessions, network and see so many industry friends. https://mic-colorado.org/?fbclid=IwY2xjawQYFU1leHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFhdWNOb1JzY0JqN0N3UldOc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHoxBupZRH3mQ5XxLZFjinW_U7AMugeFhXsIytrBaI0ZpdmlYYp3JOt767TTm_aem_yhr-_Rus3NN51A2mWKUTaQ
