Meeting Professionals International’s (MPI) member magazine has been named to the Top Ten Best Magazines of the Year in 2012 by the American Society of Business Publications Editors (ASBPE) Azbee Awards of Excellence.
One+ was one of 25 magazines named as finalists out of more than 600 publications in the competition. The coveted honor was announced July 25 in Kansas City.
"Just to be named a finalist is quite an honor for One+ and for MPI, but a Top 10 finish is really a humbling honor," said One+ Editor in Chief David Basler. "What makes One+ such a successful publication for the meeting and event industry is that we take the time to listen to our members and we focus our content and design on what they want from their member magazine. This honor is something we share with all MPI members – this is their magazine."
In its first four years of publication, One+ has quickly become the most recognized magazine in the meeting and event industry. The magazine has amassed 38 awards and honors in that time. One+ replaced MPI’s previous publication, The Meeting Professional, in August 2008.
The ASBPE Azbee Awards of Excellence competition is one of the most competitive for business-to-business, trade, association and professional publications. The awards recognize outstanding work by magazines, newsletters, and digital media, including websites, e-newsletters, digital magazines, and blogs. The competition is open to all US-based publications.
Past winners of the Magazine of the Year honor include: Fortune Small Business, CIO, Computerworld, The Scientist, and Meetings & Conventions.
