His ongoing commitment and service to the industry has earned an account executive at Exhibition Place the prestigious “Supplier of the Year Award” from MPI Toronto. This prestigious award was announced and presented at the MPI Toronto Chapter Awards Gala ceremony held at the Toronto Hilton on March 7.
An MPI member since 2003, Geoff Mak, CEM CMP, was among five nominees and 
ultimately secured the top spot through a well-structured points system and nominations from his peers. A dedicated advocate of education, fiscal responsibility and customer service, Mak’s leadership and vision played a key role in his accomplishment.
“It is important to have our own team committed to their continuous professional growth within our organization,” said Dianne Young, CEO, Exhibition Place. “Congratulations to Geoff on this great achievement and thank you for your commitment to Exhibition Place, your clients and industry peers.”
The annual MPI Toronto Chapter Awards Gala brings together more than 400 meeting professionals to recognize and celebrate the nominees and award recipients who have shown their commitment and dedication to the industry and to the MPI Toronto Chapter.
