The annual World Education Conference, organized by Meeting Planners International, took place from June 13th to 16th in the picturesque Mexican Caribbean. Breaking away from tradition, this year marked the first time the conference was held outside of the US/Canada, and it certainly lived up to expectations. Thousands of meeting planners and suppliers congregated to connect, participate in educational sessions, and gain insights into the services offered by their key partners, such as hotels, venues, and AV/Tech companies. The conference carefully curated speakers, programming, and hospitality to reignite attendees’ enthusiasm for live events.
Shannon LeGault, YC&E’s Associate Director of Events & Program Administration, had the privilege of attending this three-day conference alongside Becca Byrd, Associate Director of Space Management and Event Operations from the Yale School of Management. During their time in Mexico, Shannon and Becca seized the opportunity to network with other event professionals and engage with prominent players in the event industry, all while immersing themselves in the vibrant culture and warm hospitality of Mexico.
This conference served as an inspiring and rejuvenating experience for the attending meeting planners. We can’t wait to hear more about it from Shannon, as she will undoubtedly share her newfound knowledge and apply the invaluable insights gained from this conference to our day-to-day operations at YC&E!
