MPI team uses the Event Design using the EventCanvas™ Methodology to redesign World Education Congress
The team at Meeting Professionals International, MPI has embraced the Event Design using the #EventCanvas™ methodology in September 2017. The design spark was initially lit when now Certified Event Designer Miranda Van Brück, CED, Program Director, Events for MPI took the lead in proposing this as a project during the Event Design Certificate Programme at the University of Amsterdam in August 2017.
Subsequently, Miranda took her ambitious prototypes from the EDC programme and got the endorsement from Paul van Deventer, President and CEO of MPI and Matthew Marcial, Vice President Education & Events, to get the full MPI team involved in the Event Design for MPI's pinnacle event.
In a series of design sprints, the team led by Certified Event Designers Miranda van Brück, CED and supported by Terri Breining, CMM, CMP, CED have analyzed and aligned the stakes of the various stakeholders, framed the design and then prototyped options for WEC. This led to multiple prototypes which were ultimately drilled down to one event design and a strong event narrative.
After validating the design with the Executive leadership of MPI and the Host Committee in Indianapolis, the full WEC18 team was now on the same page and ready to put the Event Design into practice.
The Event Design narrative was subsequently visualized by Dennis Luijer, Story Engagement Engineer of the Event Design Collective into the WEC18 #EventCanvas™ (click HERE to download) to enable everyone the share the narrative of the Event Design.
In addition to that Dennis has also detailed the Event Design steps taken and future steps to follow in a comprehensive Event Design WEC18 Baseline scrapbook (Click HERE to download).

WEC18 in Indy is a completely redesigned education and engagement program unlike anything they've done before. In an entirely new design setting, WEC18 will ignite new ideas and connect you with the people you need to meet. With this new format, MPI is taking risks so you don’t have to. Here's how they will do it:
