About the MPI - NCS4 Partnership

Like spectator sports, meetings and events are soft targets. They often take place over several legal jurisdictions and involve transportation, crowd control and multiple indoor/outdoor spaces. NCS4's mission is to conduct innovative research, deliver quality training, and enhance professional development. This dovetails neatly with MPI's vision to lead and empower the meeting and event community to change the world – in this case, that change begins with creating safer and more secure meetings and events.
