April 15th is National Meetings Industry Day, with special events happening in eight major centres across Canada.

NMID is brought to you by Ottawa Chapter MPI. This year NMID-Ottawa will explore and celebrate the ‘Prosperity’ component of the ‘People, Planet and Profit’ CSR unity.

NMID Ottawa is thrilled to announce that Ms. Deirdre McMurdy, the renowned and a most respected Canadian business journalist, will speak to us on “The New Prosperity: Building Prosperity Through Education.” She will also be our moderator for our panel session that will be discussing the pillars of prosperity focusing on this year’s learning objectives which are:

1. building an educational plan that will lead to achieving the “new” prosperity;
2. identifying the skills required to meet your objectives: MPI’s Skills Assessment Tool;
3. putting your plan into action; and
4. self-assessing your progression toward achieving your educational plan.

Audiences are fascinated by Deirdre's ability to put into context new developments in Canadian business and public policy. She shares her personal insights, well-informed business opinions and passion for the world of business and government.
