COMMITTEE TRADE SHOW
AND PROGRESSIVE NETWORKING
Join us August 25th for a progressive networking lunch.
Bring plenty of business cards and be prepared to make new contacts while
catching up with friends.
This MPI lunch is designed to maximize your day by helping you develop connections
with up to 20 other attendees over a meal. Take advantage of this priceless opportunity!
Additional networking time will be available during the Committee Trade Show
prior to lunch. SEATING IS LIMITED...don’t get left out…reserve your seat today!
Be sure to attend the Committee Trade Show to learn how each committee provides
opportunities for involvement and professional growth, and to enter prize drawings.
This MPI Chapter's success is largely due to committee participation by creative, intelligent
and resourceful meeting professionals. By joining a committee, you can increase your
networking opportunities, share your expertise, and learn from your peers.

Since 1980 The Houstonian has been an icon in Houston. From Heads of States to Oil Giants, to
Honeymoon Couples; The Houstonian has a reputation that comes with major responsibility. As
consistent as one expects, as caring as one wants; with “HOUSTON” as part of your name,
we stand for more than just a hotel. We are an impression on your guests, on your choice, on
your city. Relationships are important here. There are 52 employees with over 20 years of service at
The Houstonian…maybe that’s why groups continue to return time and again.
In 2010 the Houston Business Journal recognized The Houstonian as one of the Top Places to Work. In addition, Travel & Leisure magazine readers rated The Houstonian the #11 Resort in North American and Canada. And recently, Trip Advisor user ratings ranked The Houstonian as the #9 hotel in the United States. While we’ll work on keeping it nice, quiet, and serene at The Houstonian, we certainly appreciate you making all that noise about us! Thank you for your support and we look forward to serving you again soon!
