Overview

Mission

To strengthen the value and sustainability of our members, support the premier credential for the meeting professional, and provide a vibrant, collaborative platform to address critical issues to ensure a thriving events industry.

What it reported doing in 2024

Events - leading meetings industry membership associations have come together to fund and publicize a study to quantify the meetings industry's significance to the u.s. Economy. This research is part of eic's mission to prove the profound value of the collective industry to regulators and legislators who are making decisions and taking actions that negatively impact the nation without a full understanding of what is at stake. The economic study is not an annual project. In addition, the eic's sustainability initiative seeks to inspire, educate and support leaders of all levels and disciplines who will manifest the transformation of the global meetings industry towards sustainability.
