Events Industry Council (CIC)

Certified meeting professional ("cmp")- the cmp program is designated for individuals in the meeting management Industry to achieve the cmp certification. The requirements for cmp certification are based on professional experience and an academic examination.

Eic advance - eic advance highlights the Industry's advocacy efforts and adaptation and innovations necessary as it evolves, and reinforces the commitment to sustainability and an equitable future. The programme spotlights opportunities for action, upskilling and reskilling, and wellness. Industry visionaries, global advocates and thought leaders take the eic advance spotlight to inspire attendees as they shape the future.

Education and research - 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.

Publications - eic produces various publications for the Events Industry at-large. Included in these publications is the Events Industry Council manual (the "manual"). The manual is a valuable tool for Industry professionals and is widely recognized as the most comprehensive resource available for managing the basic components of a successful meeting.
