2008 PCMA Annual Meeting Program Committee
About the AMPC
Each year PCMA selects members through an open Call for Volunteers to serve on the Annual Meeting Program Committee (AMPC). Volunteers should have attended at least one PCMA Annual Meeting and be familiar with the educational content or have specific experience in one area such as meetings technology, exhibitions, marketing, travel, etc. The members of the AMPC work in conjunction with the recommendations of PCMA's Board of Directors, Education Thought Leaders, PCMA Staff and other sources to determine the educational content for the PCMA Annual Meeting.
The AMPC is responsible for identifying and creating professional and executive level education programs that deliver inspiring and innovative educational opportunities for meetings and convention industry professionals.
PCMA would like to thank the members of the 2008 AMPC for their tireless dedication to bringing you the most innovative and relevant educational sessions for the 2008 Annual Meeting!
