It’s been five years since Meeting Professionals International (MPI), the world’s largest association for those in the meeting and event industry, acquired the Plan Your Meetings (PYM) brand. In that time, we grew the free education and networking PYM live events—even taking them into the digital sphere this year, complete with avatars!—and transformed the magazine into a dedicated guide for professional development resources in order to serve the needs of non-titled planners seeking growth.

The impact of this change will ideally be minimal for PYM planners. For instance, over time, the most popular PYM blog posts will migrate to the MPI blog, where they’ll remain freely accessible (along with a bunch of other content), and the resources presented in this Professional Development Guide will, in 2021, be updated and published as a supplement to MPI’s The Meeting Professional magazine (also available online at no cost).

So, while this is the final issue of the Plan Your Meetings Professional Development Guide, it’s not the end of our goal to help educate all types of meeting and event planners—it’s not goodbye.
