Sonesta partners with MPI

Sonesta International Hotels Corporation has partnered with Meeting Professionals International (MPI) and its Healthcare Meeting Compliance Certificate (HMCC) program, making Sonesta the first major hotel company to certify employees across its full-service portfolio, making them HMCC Verified Venues.

As part of this initiative, all full-service Sonesta hotels have undergone the HMCC Verified Venue training ensuring that the employees are equipped for the hosting of medical meetings and groups. Medical meetings require a unique approach due to complex global regulations and the stringent compliance guidelines set by pharmaceutical, medical device and biotech companies.

“At Sonesta, we recognize the unique needs of medical meetings and are committed to setting a new industry standard for compliance and excellence,” said Brian Macaluso, VP, global sales, Sonesta. “Through this partnership with MPI, we are equipping our teams with the expertise necessary to host compliant and seamless medical meetings, reinforcing our full-service hotels as premier venues for the healthcare industry.”

This partnership with MPI is valid for two years, during which Sonesta will work closely with industry professionals to ensure continuous education and adherence to evolving healthcare meeting regulations, it reports.
