JMIC – the Joint Meetings Industry Council

www.themeetingsindustry.org
JMIC was established in 1978 to provide a communications link amongst international associations engaged in the Meetings Industry and a means of collectively reviewing industry conditions and strategies and has met for this purpose twice annually since then.
In 2003, JMIC commissioned a review of its role and the potential for
developing a more aggressive industry advocacy program to support its members in their efforts to raise overall industry awareness and appreciation. As a result, it developed a new program – the Profi le and Power Program – that was designed to both encourage and recognize initiatives to enhance the overall image of the industry and the economic and professional impacts it delivers.
JMIC consists of a number of international organizations who share a common interest and involvement in the Meetings Industry. The industry incorporates a series of segments which have in common the gathering of individuals for primarily business purposes and includes such activities as meetings, conventions, exhibitions, trade shows and corporate/incentive.
