👻Do You Have a Scary Event Story to Tell? Join Us TOMORROW! 🎃

☕Grab your morning coffee—or your favorite witch’s brew—and join the MPI Florida Chapters for our Annual Halloween edition of Coffee Talk: Event Horror Stories!

Meeting professionals from across Florida will come together to share those unforgettable moments when events didn’t quite go according to plan. From planner predicaments and supplier surprises to last-minute disasters and “you can’t make this stuff up” moments, we’ll swap stories, share a few laughs, and maybe even learn a lesson or two along the way.

Come dressed in costume, add a spooky or festive Zoom background, pour yourself a morning potion, and get ready for some frighteningly fun conversation.
