This section is designed to provide a general overview of the MBP Annual Business Meeting. The Annual Business Meeting is the most important MBP event of the year in terms of solidifying the team around our vision, values and mission. It brings the MBP values and culture face to face with the entire team — both work and home team members. This year, we look forward to bringing everyone together with our new theme Riding the Next Wave.

Friday Night
When you arrive on Friday evening, we will have a meet-and-greet area set up so you can socialize, grab some dinner, and catch up with team members.
Plus…we’re excited to bring back theme night! We’re leaning in to our beach location with a beach theme. Come decked out in your best beach gear (think Hawaiian shirt, beach hat, sunglasses)!
It wouldn’t be a trip to Virginia Beach without mini golf. We’ll also have an indoor putt-putt set up on Friday night for some friendly competition.
At 8:00, we’ll formally kick-off the ABM with a short presentation recognizing some individual and area achievements, so make sure to stick around.

Business Meeting
The business meeting begins on Saturday morning following breakfast.

Following the business meeting, breakout sessions will provide an opportunity for education and discussion among smaller groups. Details of the breakout sessions are provided to assist you in selecting which sessions you want to attend. The business meeting will resume with the serving of lunch. Dress for the business meeting is business casual (no jeans).
All team members are expected to attend the business meeting and all breakout sessions; spouses and significant others are invited to participate throughout at their preference.

Saturday Night
Saturday night is a time of celebration! Following a reception (with the addition of a photo booth and 360 camera!), everyone will move to the main ballroom for dinner. Dinner is a great way to connect with team members you’ve never met or don’t get to see often.
Saturday night’s reception and awards dinner is semi-formal attire. Gentlemen: suit or sports coat, long-sleeve oxford or dress shirt, tie optional, no jeans, decent shoes (no work boots or sneakers). Ladies: a dress, pant suit, or slacks and a dressy top, heels, strappy sandals, flats, or dress shoes.
Dinner will include an awards presentation honoring our Top Performer winners. After the awards ceremony, we’ll continue the party with DJ Luccio & Karaoke. Yes, we are bringing back karaoke!
