On October 22, 2009, MPI hosted a workshop on Risk Management, titled “Expect the Unexpected.”  The workshop reviewed a variety of risk associated case studies in the events and business meetings.  A panel discussion followed with a variety of industry meetings experts, including our very own Orange County Fire Marshal’s office represented by Lt.
