This live, 12-hour broadcast hosted by our friends at MPI features education and activities from all over the world as the meeting industry comes together to celebrate, commemorate, and honour 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. 

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

About GMID

GMID began as Canadian National Meetings Industry Day, which was a 20+ year tradition in Canada created by the Canadian Chapters of MPI. It expanded to North American Meetings Industry Day in 2015 through the efforts of Meetings Mean Business. 2016 was the first global edition, continued to be led by Meetings Mean Business (which is now an arm of U.S. Travel). GMID is currently an initiative of Meetings Mean Business under U.S Travel; however, many industry associations, chapters and organizations host events in its celebration.
