PCMA’s Convening Leaders has long been recognized as one of the most important, influential, and inspiring conferences that takes place each year. 2022 will be no different. In fact, I see Convening Leaders 2022 as the perfect opportunity to reconnect with my professional network, reinvigorate myself, and get a fresh start as we work together to face what’s next for business events.

You can be confident I’ll take the knowledge I gain at CL22 to bring new ideas and insights to the company. At the same time, I’m furthering my own professional development. (Highlight a particular session/topic that would be beneficial to your position and your organization.)

The total company investment for me to participate will be approximately ($XXX). The cost breakdown is:

Registration:
