Midwinter Conference is Jan. 24-26
MPA’s Midwinter Conference returns to the Jackson Hilton Hotel January 24-26, 2008. “The Power of Suggestion” will feature workshops and training on a variety of advertising and production topics, including sales presentations from nationally-known speakers, and a few “veteran” midwinter presenters, including John Lindsay, Lisa Tackett Griffin and Mike Blinder.
The conference opens this year with the annual MPA Education Foundation Roast, which in years past has been held after the conclusion of the meeting. MPAEF board members voted to move the roast to Thursdays beginning in 2008 to help increase participation from the Jackson business community, from lawmakers and from MPA members in general.
Anthony Topazi, CEO of Mississippi Power, is the honoree at this year’s event. Topazi has been lauded for his efforts at leading the company and spearheading its community recovery efforts along the coast in the southern region of the state following Hurricane Katrina. Information on roast tickets is forthcoming from MPA.
