The Event Leadership Collective (ELC), powered by PCMA, lives its mission of connecting students with meeting and event industry professionals!
In September, ELC students participated in a Meeting Professionals International Dallas/Fort Worth Chapter event at Lone Star Park at Grand Prairie. Students began the evening with a special Young Professionals pre-event featuring roundtable conversations with six industry leaders. Afterward, they had the opportunity to network with MPI D/FW members, tour Lone Star Park, and enjoy an evening of horse racing. Experiences like these help students build relationships, ask questions, and learn firsthand from professionals in the meetings and events industry.
Thank you M.T. Hickman, CMP, CPECP, CED for making these valuable industry connections for our students!
