Origins of Global Meetings Industry Day
GMID began as Canadian National Meetings Industry Day, a 20+ year tradition in Canada created by the Canadian Chapters of MPI. Later it expanded to North American Meetings Industry Day in 2015 through the efforts of the newly formed Meetings Mean Business coalition. 2016 was the first global edition and continued to be led by Meetings Mean Business.
GMID is currently an initiative of Meetings Mean Business powered by U.S Travel. Many industry associations, chapters and organizations host events in its celebration. MPI has hosted its annual 12-hour broadcast since 2018!
