PCMA Southwest & Pacific Chapter

Covering Arizona, Hawaii, Nevada and Southern California we host various seminars, mixers and fundraisers per year for event professionals.

PCMA is the Professional Convention Management Association and it is the leading organization for meeting and event professionals with a mission to deliver superior and innovative education and promote the value of professional convention management. The PCMA Southwest & Pacific Chapter covers Arizona, Hawaii, Nevada and Southern California and offers networking, education, comprehensive learning

and community outreach opportunities to our members. The PCMA Southwest & Pacific Chapter is led by a board of directors representing corporate and association meeting planners, convention and tradeshow producers, independent meeting planners and event industry suppliers. We invite you use the board of directors as a resource for advice and new ideas. Just post a message on our page and one of our team members will be happy to respond. And if you are an events professional in the Southwest, we would be thrilled if you would join us at one of our many events.

Some gave all so the rest of us could live free. 🇺🇸

Today we remember the fallen, honor their sacrifice, and thank every soul who has worn or wears that uniform.

to earlier this month where PCMA Southwest & Pacific Chapter had their Swing Fling in Las Vegas at Swingers Las Vegas. Where you found your match, got your glam on, tackled PCMA trivia one hole at a time all while enjoying delicious bites and drinks! Hopefully you all got to engage with our Chapter President Kristin Green and Board Member, Michele Marsee! It was a sold out event so thank you to everyone who came out to experience what our chapter is all about!
A huge shot out to our board and sponsors Cohera , Swingers Las Vegas and Champagne Creative Group for bringing the magic of this event to life!

Calling out to all those in our Next Gen community for our inaugural webinar hosted by PCMA Southwest & Pacific Next Gen Committee on May 14th…

We’re starting by listening. We’re gathering real feedback from our Next Gen community to better understand the challenges we’re navigating and to shape programming that truly reflects those realities.

This isn’t about guessing what you need. It’s about building conversations around what’s actually happening across our region. We also want emerging professionals to feel real value in their PCMA membership and to create momentum within the Southwest chapter by while encouraging members to invite and involve their Next Gen colleagues.

Webinar will be via Microsoft Teams, so request an invite to attend for free:
