Global Meetings Industry Day (GMID) 2024

Join MPI for our eighth annual, industry-leading Global Meetings Industry Day: Virtual experience. This live, 12-hour broadcast features education and activities from all over the world as the meeting industry comes together to celebrate, commemorate, and honor the millions of global events that impact the lives of billions of people every year.

Global Meetings Industry Day (GMID) is an international day of advocacy showcasing the undeniable value that business meetings, trade shows, incentive travel, exhibitions, conferences, and conventions bring to people, businesses, and communities. This year’s theme is #TheEventProfessionalsJourney and we relish this opportunity to celebrate the wonders the future holds for bringing people together in meaningful ways with thousands of industry friends and colleagues.

The live broadcast will run from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. US Central Time (06:00 to 18:00 UTC -5), offering you the opportunity to connect with other industry leaders from all over the world. The broadcast is FREE, but we’re asking you to consider donating US$10 toward supporting the efforts of the MPI Foundation, which has awarded more than US$5 million in grants, scholarships, and research since 2009.

GMID: Virtual is the perfect event to rally together—because when we meet, we change the world.
