MESA Monthly Member Meetings (4M's)
Education for leaders and teams is core within the MESA community and our members are a key priority for this. MESA runs monthly online events for member teams. Previous calls focused on the well-being and mental health of members working remotely, as well as finding new clients in an uncertain climate. MESA Monthly Member Meetings (4M's) in 2024 take place on the last Tuesday or Thursday of each month where possible.

MESA Industry Networking
Thursday 23rd July 2026 - "PERFECT STRANGERS" NETWORKING MASTERCLASS
Our high-energy 90-Minute MESA "Perfect Strangers" MasterClass took place with Maarten Vanneste, Author, Speaker, Consultant and President of the Meeting Design Institute where we discovered how one simple technique can completely transform the way people connect, learn, and create value in any gathering.
"The topic was great, so is Maarten and it's really interesting to hear the perspectives from others in our industry who are perhaps on the supplier side or association/memberships side, which I very rarely get to hear."
Laura Lucas, Managing Director, UKSV Creates
"Even in the middle of summer, MESA gathers an impactful crowd of meeting designers and planners open to transition and transform events in more impactful and meaningful gatherings."
Evelien Aernaudts, Business Development Manager, ABBIT Meeting Innovators
"This was a great event as it brought so many different types of industry professionals together, where we could all learn, share, and network."
Alastair Greener, Generational Communication Speaker, Generationally Speaking
"This was fun and engaging. Somehow, CAT was used for all of us online and it worked."
Marija Malinić, Co-Founder, Mamma Consulting
