Manufacturers Alliance for Productivity and Innovation

MAPI

MAPI, the Manufacturers Alliance for Productivity and Innovation, saw an opportunity to build a new event, for CEOs and senior executives in the manufacturing industry. 

The Challenge

Design and Launch a new event for an association of manufacturing executives in an environment of competitive pressures on time and budget, as well as other events. 

The Solution

LAI LIVE convened a team of executives from MAPI to design the new event as a strategic offering that would both present a unique learning and networking opportunity, as well as create a platform for MAPI to advance the business of the association and its members.  Over one day, LAI LIVE led them group through a series of visioning exercises to establish key potential audience segments, marketing messages and event look and feel.  The event was built from a series of impressions that would guide the process through execution.  Impressions included modern, streamlined, and customizable.

Using these impressions, our team provided recommendations on the venue, designed and built a stage set, created graphics, and developed a show flow and booked speakers that would deliver.  The event was also built to be an efficient use of time for those who would attend; one and a half days, in Chicago, a location easily accessible to the majority of attendees.  The MAPI Annual Executive Summit is now in its fourth year and attendance continues to grow.
