In the episode, Raegan discusses hidden AV costs, common planning pitfalls, and practical strategies to help meeting professionals maximize their budgets and deliver successful events.

We’re proud to see Raegan sharing her expertise with the broader events community.

🎉 We’re excited to share that the MPI Potomac Chapter is the recipient of MPI’s Social Impact RISE Award, one of the organization’s highest recognitions for chapters and clubs.

This award celebrates our WorldPride DC 2025 initiatives and how we leveraged Washington, DC’s role as host city to advance LGBTQIA+ inclusion, safety, and social responsibility within the meetings and events industry through education, community engagement, and collaboration.

This achievement reflects the dedication, passion, and collective efforts of our volunteers, leaders, members, and partners who helped bring these initiatives to life. Thank you to everyone who contributed to creating meaningful impact for our community and our industry.

Join us tonight at the Ronald Reagan Building for our Summer Sizzle networking event as we celebrate this exciting achievement together! 🥂
