MPFI Membership Benefits
MPFI Business Partner Discounts
A number of our business partners provide discounts to Media Professionals of Florida members. For more information please Click here to jump to Business Partner Discounts.
Membership Directory
One of the most valuable membership benefits is the On-Line Membership Directory. The Directory lists members alphabetically, by name and by business type. Potential clients can use this membership guide in locating individuals and companies within MPFI that offer professional services. Links to an MPFI member's business site will augment marketing potential and improve business.
Professional Programs, Seminars and Events
MPFI monthly programs are structured to enlighten, inform and entertain our members. First, the meeting begins with a 30 minute technical track, bonus track or vendor showcase giving up-to-the-minute coverage of technological products, changes and sometimes a view into the digital crystal ball . The next portion of our meeting provides networking opportunities where food and friends abound. The main program of each month's meeting focuses on topics chosen to enhance understanding and professional development within the media.

Networking
Again and again our members realize the importance of networking in our community. Through contacts made within and outside of our association, our members add another dimension to the value of MPFI membership.
Professional contacts within the community are a valuable asset and resource. The opportunity to share and encourage the use of media in corporations, industry, government, education, healthcare and small businesses is provided during a meeting "Mixer" segment. Our members promote a non-competitive environment allowing a free-flow of information.
