Come for the connections, stay for the Bunco (or vice versa)! 🎲

MPI Oregon is heading to Spirit Mountain Casino & Hotel on June 19th from 5–7pm for an evening of networking, laughs, and a little friendly competition!

Never heard of Bunco? No worries! It's a super simple dice game that you'll have it down in minutes — with great prizes and even better energy. It's the perfect icebreaker for meeting new faces or catching up with familiar ones.

No matter where you are in your MPI journey, this is your invitation to show up, have fun, and leave with new connections. 🥂

Down the rabbit hole we went - and what a wonderland it was! 🐇✨

Last week, MPI Oregon brought the Oregon Meeting & Event Industry Day to life at the stunning Oregon Convention Center, and we are still smiling about it. From the décor to the conversations to the connections made, May 19th was a day to remember.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us in Wonderland - your energy made the magic happen. 🎩🌹

And none of it would have been possible without our incredible sponsor, Oregon Convention Center. Thank you for being the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable day!

📸 Only a few photos fit here - check our page for the full album from Bob Williams Photography and tag yourself or a fellow attendee you spotted!
