Who We Are

MCPI is a woman-owned business that has been successfully planning and managing medical conferences since 1996 based on the insights and knowledge gleaned by its founder, Karen Baranick, during her previous 17-year career in the medical field. Today, MCPI is composed of a well-curated team whose combined skillsets and talents create conferences that are meticulous, forward-thinking, stress-free, unique, educational, and memorable.

OUR TEAM

MCPI has been the bedrock/foundation the Vit Buckle Society (VBS) was able to build upon. When we started VBS, we knew we wanted MCPI to help us move forward and partner with the organization. The partnership with MCPI has been one of the great strengths of VBS. They have been with us the entire journey (2007-current). MCPI always ensures that the meeting is planned properly, the venue is easily accessible to all attendees, all CME and other activities are well planned and organized, and all attendees leave the meeting feeling as though it was done in the most professional manner. As VBS President during the tumultuous 2020 year, the bond, friendship, and advice from MCPI was invaluable. I am very grateful to Karen, Alex, and their entire team for the professional and personal relationships that we have shared for 15+ years. They are an exceptional organization.

In the past 20 years, I may have worked with MCPI on more meetings than anyone in the world! They are everything one could ask for from a meeting planning company…and more. They do all aspects of site-selection, concept generation, pre-planning, educational initiatives/CME, travel, vendor management, program and speaker management, and on-site logistics to the highest degree, with great skill, professionalism, grace, kindness, and respect. They also possess intangibles seen by nobody else in our industry, gained by experience and investment in our community of sub-specialists, that allow them to function as colleagues and friends in a way unmatched by others. All smiles from all people about all things at meetings run by MCPI.

MCPI is an epitome of all the good things in a meeting planner. Each of our medical education conferences have been PERFECTLY organized, thanks to their attention to detail, creative and cutting-edge ideas, business contacts and personal time. It really makes a difference to work with people who know what they are doing but also are always willing to do what it takes to make it happen.

As the first conference to book their event with Viceroy upon our opening in 2009, I have had the pleasure of working with MCPI for over 10 years and have always found Karen and her team to be flawless throughout the planning and execution of their programs, year after year. The care they put into each detail of the conference is reflected in all areas- guest arrival experience, accommodations, event space setting and ambiance, fulfilling meal options and fun day-time outings. Each of these aspects comes together for a well-rounded, educational and engaging program for their attendees. As an operational partner, they are my all-time favorite planners to work with and I look forward to their conference each year!

Katie de BescheDirector of Catering, Viceroy Snowmass

From a vendor, MCPI is one of our favorite and most stress-free planners to work with. They are consummate professionals, ever ahead of the curve, thorough, fair, and borderline psychic in their anticipation of needs, attention to detail, and proactive management of problems. Their events are unique and always have the MCP signature “touches” that only they can claim. I would recommend their services to any meeting or event where flawless execution is not negotiable.
